My belly is jumping when I am 8 months pregnant

I have been pregnant for 8 and a half months. Recently, my abdomen has been jumping up and down, and I feel like the baby is kicking my abdomen. I would like to ask what is the reason for the throbbing of the abdomen in the 8th month of pregnancy?

Causes of abdominal throbbing

In the late pregnancy, the abdomen jumps and jumps, which indicates the baby's fetal movement. In fact, normal pregnant women should begin to actively feel fetal movements at 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. As the pregnancy weeks increase, the number of fetal movements will gradually increase, and the peak period will be at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. However, after 38 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal movement will begin to slowly decrease. If the fetal movement is regular in the late pregnancy, that is, the fetal movement is more than 30 times/12 hours or more than 4 times/hour, it is also normal, so pregnant mothers do not need to worry too much.

Generally speaking, if pregnant mothers can feel the baby's fetal movement more than 3 times within 30 minutes, they don't have to worry. If it happens 1-2 times, it may be that the fetus is in a bad mood. If you don't feel it at all, you need to pay attention. If there is no fetal movement for half a day, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately. If the fetus was previously active and moving, but suddenly you can't feel the fetal movements, the fetus may have encountered a problem. If not enough oxygen and nutrients are delivered, the fetal heart rate will decrease and the fetal movement will suddenly decrease.

Pregnant mothers should pay more attention if they suffer from diseases such as pregnancy-induced hypertension and pregnancy-induced hyperglycemia. If the disease worsens, the function of the embryo will also deteriorate, unable to transmit sufficient oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, and the fetal movement will decrease. In addition, when external pressure is exerted on the fetus, the fetal movement will also decrease.

Finally, it is recommended that pregnant mothers should go to the hospital immediately if they find abnormal fetal movement. The doctor will analyze and judge the fetal condition based on the results of various tests and propose practical solutions to ensure the safety of maternal and infant products.

When does the baby's fetal movement begin?

When the fetus grows to a certain extent, his movements can be recognized by pregnant mothers. Fetal movement is an indicator of whether the fetal growth and development is normal, so many pregnant mothers are very concerned about when the fetal movement begins.
