Why is the fetal movement so strong in the ninth month of pregnancy?

We all know that fetal movement is the mother's best way to feel the health of the fetus in the mother's belly. However, fetal movement has a certain regularity in different periods, especially in the late pregnancy. Many women may experience strong fetal movement and are often particularly worried, especially when they are nine months pregnant and about to give birth. If there is strong fetal movement at this time, we must pay great attention to it. Generally, strong fetal movement may be caused by low amniotic fluid or the imminent delivery. Let's understand why the fetal movement is strong in the ninth month of pregnancy.

Why is the fetal movement so strong in the ninth month of pregnancy?

1. Number of fetal movements in 9 months of pregnancy

Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily.

During the 28th to 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal movement is active, which then weakens slightly until delivery. The pregnant woman's movement, posture, emotions, loud noises, strong light, and touching the abdomen can all cause changes in fetal movement.

2. Fetal movement suddenly accelerates

Cause of diagnosis: Severe trauma to the expectant mother

Generally speaking, the fetus is protected by amniotic fluid in the mother's womb, which can reduce the impact of external forces. If the expectant mother accidentally suffers a slight impact, she will not be injured. However, once the expectant mother is hit by severe external force, it will cause violent fetal movement, and even cause miscarriage, premature birth, etc. In addition, if the expectant mother has head trauma, fractures, heavy bleeding, etc., it may also cause abnormal fetal movement. Experts suggest:

1. Avoid crowded places to avoid being bumped into.

2. Reduce activities that involve high amounts of physical exertion.

The above is an introduction to why the fetal movement is strong in the ninth month of pregnancy. After understanding it, we know that the nine-month pregnancy is about to begin. Strong fetal movement during this period must be taken seriously. In addition, if there are signs of delivery, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. In addition, expectant mothers must maintain a good attitude during this period and welcome the arrival of the baby in the best condition.
