Is it normal for the fetus to move strongly in the morning when I am 8 months pregnant? Why is the fetus moving strongly in the morning when I am 8 months pregnant?

We all know that after a woman becomes pregnant, the baby in her belly will continue to grow and develop, and when it grows to a certain stage, it will start to move, which is what we call fetal movement. The frequency of fetal movement is different in different periods. Sometimes the fetal movement is more frequent, and sometimes it is less frequent. So is it normal to have frequent fetal movement in the 8th month of pregnancy? Let's take a closer look!

Is it normal to have frequent fetal movements in the morning at 8 months of pregnancy?

The fetal movement is strong in the morning when the pregnancy is 8 months. If it happens every day and the fetal movement is 3-5 times an hour, it is normal.

The time points when the fetal movement is strong are generally when you wake up in the morning, when you have a full meal at noon, and between 10-12 o'clock at night.

After 28 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant mothers are required to start counting fetal movements. Generally, you can choose to count for one hour each in the morning, afternoon and evening. If the pregnant mother does not have enough time, you can choose to count for one hour during rest. It is normal for the fetus to move 3-5 times in one hour.

Generally, experienced mothers will feel fetal movement at 16-18 weeks. If you are a primipara, you will feel fetal movement between 18-20 weeks, and the fetal movement will become more regular after 28 weeks.

Why do I have frequent fetal movements in the morning when I am 8 months pregnant?

Every pregnant mother has different physical fitness, and the baby's personality varies greatly, so not every pregnant mother's fetal movement is the same; so when a pregnant mother feels strong fetal movement, it may be due to the following reasons.

1. The baby has a lively personality. After a night's rest, he is full of energy in the morning, so he starts waving his hands and feet, hoping that his mother can play with him (her) for a while.

2. The baby is hungry because he hasn’t eaten in the morning, so he protests to the mother through fetal movement.

3. Fetal hypoxia. This situation is also the reason for strong fetal movement. In the case of hypoxia, the baby will send a distress signal to the pregnant mother. If this is the case, the pregnant mother should pay attention and go to the hospital for fetal heart monitoring in time. If necessary, you can breathe oxygen in the hospital.

How to count fetal movements during pregnancy

Many pregnant mothers think that counting fetal movements is troublesome, or they have never learned it, and even if they have learned it, it is not easy to judge. In fact, counting fetal movements is not that complicated, and mastering these three points is enough.

1. Take time to count the fetal movements for one hour each in the morning, afternoon and evening. 3-5 fetal movements are normal. Sometimes continuous fetal movements are counted as one, and the next movement is counted as one. It may not be easy at the beginning, but you will find the pattern after a few times.

2. For pregnant mothers who do not have enough time, they can choose to count the fetal movements for an hour during their rest time. As long as the fetal movements are not large, 3-5 times each time is normal.

3. Pregnant mothers can judge based on their feelings. If fetal movements occur at a fixed time every day and are regular each time, for example, 3-5 times each time and with about the same strength each time, this is also normal.

Therefore, when the fetal movement is strong, pregnant mothers can judge based on the above content and basically get a satisfactory answer.
