What is the reason for excessive fetal movement?

Generally, women can feel fetal movement when they are four months pregnant, because at this time the fetus has begun to slowly develop limbs, and the fetal movement will become very obvious. However, most fetal movements are regular and not that frequent. Some pregnant women feel that their fetal movements are particularly strong and frequent. So what is the reason for the strong fetal movement?

Caused by different gestational ages

Multiparas will feel the first fetal movement at 15-16 weeks, and primiparas will generally feel fetal movement at 18-20 weeks. When you first feel the fetal movement, it is not very obvious, that is, not strong. Because the fetus is still very small at this time, the force impacting the uterine wall is very slight, so the feeling will also be very slight.

Between 20 and 35 weeks, fetal movements are the most intense, because at this time the fetus's various skills are more fully developed, the fetal movements are more powerful, and the force impacting the uterine wall will be stronger, so you will feel violent fetal movements.

After 36 weeks, due to the limited space in the uterus, the fetal movements will become less frequent, but the strength and amplitude will also increase. You often see your belly looking like hills rising and falling. This is because the fetus is becoming more mature.

Mom's Problems

When the mother has eaten a full meal, her blood sugar rises and the fetus receives more nutrients and oxygen, so it becomes more active.

When the mother listens to music, the fetus can also hear the sounds outside and will interact happily.

When the mother takes a bath, the blood circulation speeds up and the baby will feel the mother's body relax, and the fetal movement will be stronger because of the pleasure.

When the mother lies in bed and quietly feels the presence of the fetus, the fetus will also sense the mother's movements and sounds, and will move happily.

Fetal problems

Some fetuses are lively and active, so the fetal movements will be more intense. This personality trait has nothing to do with gender. Strong fetal movement does not necessarily mean it is a boy. There are also many tomboyish girls among girls.

Certain special cases

When the placenta ages and hypoxia occurs, fetal movements will be more intense.

When the amniotic fluid is contaminated, the fetus will suffocate and the fetal movement will be violent.

When the umbilical cord is wrapped too tightly around the neck, fetal movements may be sudden and violent.

When a pregnant mother eats inappropriate food, the harmful ingredients will be absorbed by the fetus through the placenta, causing violent fetal movements.

If you find that the fetal movement suddenly becomes very strong and then suddenly stops, be sure to see a doctor.
