How long is the average pregnancy and when are fetal movements most frequent?

After pregnancy, there is no more exciting and thrilling feeling than fetal movement. Fetal movement is a barometer of whether the baby is healthy or not, and by being able to feel fetal movement, we can feel the baby's presence. We will be happy about every move of the baby.

How long does it usually take for the fetus to move?

Different mothers feel fetal movement at different times. Generally speaking, there is fetal movement when the embryo turns into a fetus, only because the fetus is particularly tiny and the force of fetal movement is particularly weak, we will not feel fetal movement easily.

We feel fetal movement when the fetus grows a little larger and the force of fetal movement can reach the uterine wall and can stimulate the belly.

For primiparous women, fetal movements are felt at 18-20 weeks. For women in labor, you will feel it at 15-16 weeks. With my first child, I didn't feel the faintest movement until after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and with my second child, I felt it at 15 weeks.

Different pregnant mothers don't feel fetal movement at exactly the same time, sensitive and experienced ones will be slightly earlier, some friends felt fetal movement at 12 weeks, which is amazing.

When are fetal movements most frequent?

1. In terms of weeks of pregnancy

Fetal movements at the beginning are slight, like a small fish swimming, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, and what feels like gastrointestinal flatulence.

Fetal movements become frequent and intense after 20 weeks, when the fetus begins to punch, kick, and roll up and down.

After 35 weeks, the frequency of fetal movement will decrease, but the amplitude of fetal movement will become larger, and many mothers are kicked to sleep, kicked to pubic bone pain, and even kicked to leak urine.

2. In terms of time

Fetal movements are not very frequent during the day, and they are especially frequent at night. Because pregnant mothers are busy during the day and don't have time to feel the fetal movement, at night is more leisurely, eat and drink enough, the baby also become energetic.

3. From the habits of pregnant mothers

The fetus is more active after eating, when taking a bath, before going to bed, when listening to music, and when stroking the belly. The fetus wants to play with its mother because it is full and becomes energetic, and it can feel its mother's happy mood!

In short, mothers will generally feel the fetal movement in 18-20 weeks, fetal movement will gradually become more frequent, can not be too much baby annoyed oh!

Fetal movement should be the baby's first communication with the mother, it is an exciting and unforgettable experience for the mother, which can make her feel that a little life is growing. There are so many moms who will miss the first fetal movement, just feel the inside of the stomach moving, as if the intestinal flatulence, gurgling a moment and then disappear, if you pay special attention to another several hours without movement, is not it feel amazing. What is fetal movement? Fetal movement is the movement of the fetus, starting from the 8th week, when the spine starts to make small movements. As the fetus grows, it will stretch its flexed limbs, and these movements will help the fetus to develop its muscles properly.

Mothers who are pregnant for the first time will feel fetal movements around 18 to 20 weeks, and mothers who have already had a baby will feel fetal movements around 16 to 18 weeks, or even earlier. Between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy is the period when you can just begin to sense fetal movement, and the average number of movements per day is about 200. At this time, the baby's movement is not very large, and the movement is not intense, mothers usually feel that the fetal movement at this time with flatulence, intestinal peristalsis or the feeling of hungry stomach is a bit similar to the gurgle, and then no longer, inexperienced mothers often can not distinguish, the location of the fetal movement at this time is relatively close to the navel. Gestation 20 to 35 weeks at this time the baby is in the lively period, and because the growth is not yet very large, the uterus can be more space for activities, so this is the baby's fetal movement is the most intense period of time, the number of daily fetal movement may be between 100 to 700, an average of about 375 times. Expectant mothers can feel the baby punching, kicking, rolling and other kinds of big movements, and even see the belly protruding small hands and feet. At this point the fetus is elevated in position and is near the stomach. When approaching full term again, fetal movement is slightly reduced, usually 3-5 times per hour.

Fetal movement is a symbol of the presence of life in the uterus. Counting fetal movement is a simple means for pregnant women to self-monitor the condition of the fetus. Pregnant women should count the fetal movements for one hour each at a fixed time in the morning, midday and evening every day, with more than three movements per hour, reflecting the good condition of the fetus. Can also be the morning, noon and night three times the number of fetal movement and multiplied by 4, that is, 12 hours of fetal movement. If the 12-hour fetal movement is more than 30 times, reflecting good fetal condition, less than 20 times, indicating fetal abnormality, if the fetal movement is less than 10 times, suggesting that the fetus intrauterine oxygen deficiency. Pregnant women should be alert to abnormal fetal movement, sudden acceleration, slowing down, intensification and furniture after the sudden cessation of fetal problems, should seek medical attention. Such as fetal intrauterine distress early manifestations of fetal restlessness, fetal movement increased significantly, when hypoxia is severe, fetal movement decreases and weakens or even disappears, after the disappearance of fetal movement, fetal heart usually disappears within 24 to 48 hours

If the embryo or fetus is viable, then the baby will keep moving, but it takes time to be able to make the mother feel his vitality.

The initial movement of the embryo is the constant division and growth of cells.

A primitive heart tube beat can be seen on ultrasound around 45 days after menopause. Heart tube pulsations are a type of fetal movement.

At 11 weeks of menopause, the baby begins to have breath like movements when it is amniotic fluid that is inhaled into the lungs. (Lungs have not developed yet, but inhaling amniotic fluid helps the lungs to develop.)

Baby will also perform swallowing motions to taste the amniotic fluid.

Baby can pee too.

All of this, of course, baby does quietly. Mom has no perceptions.

As the baby grows, his muscles increase in strength and his limbs and trunk stretch. However, the fetus is small in the middle of pregnancy, and the movements he produces are not enough to vibrate the walls of the uterus, and the mother remains imperceptive to such movements.

By 16-20 weeks, the fetus has increased its range of motion and mom will feel it.

Whether a mother can feel fetal movement at 16 weeks or 20 weeks is related to her sensitivity and experience. The more attentive or experienced mothers will be able to detect the smaller movements earlier. The more sensitive and inexperienced mothers will not be able to sense the slightest movement and will confuse it with the contraction of their abdominal wall muscles and bowel movements.

But either way, moms at 20 weeks pregnant should be able to sense fetal movement.

Fetal movements are varied; the fetus stretches its limbs, stretches its trunk, and may roll over. The fetus may take one long leap - and go from cephalic to breech, or from breech to cephalic.

In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, very rhythmic heartbeat-like fetal movements can be felt. Of course the mom can't feel the baby's heartbeat, it's actually the baby hiccuping.

No matter what kind of fetal movement it is, it means that the fetus is safe.

Fetal movement is God's gift to baby moms and their welfare. As the weeks of pregnancy increase, especially in the late pregnancy, the little one will sometimes be restless and make trouble at night that you can't sleep.

How many months pregnant will the fetus move? What will the pregnant mom feel?

Before answering the question, we need to understand one thing, that is, the fetus will move, and pregnant women feel fetal movement are two different things, the fetus will move often earlier than pregnant women feel fetal movement. In fact, as early as the second month of pregnancy, the embryo has already moved.

Under normal circumstances, the average mother will feel the presence of fetal movement around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, the type of performance such as startled jumping, whole-body movement, upper or lower limb movement, head turning, turning, stretching, opening the mouth, touching the face with the hands and uh, yawning, sucking, swallowing and so on.

Some of the fetal movement is more obvious, and you can even learn that the fetus is moving from the shape of the baby's belly, the magical belly.

To summarize, the fetus is generally in the second month of pregnancy is already active, but the mother needs to be in the 18-20 weeks of pregnancy to sense the fetal movement, the initial is hidden, with the increase in weeks of pregnancy the intensity of fetal movement gradually increased. I wish you a good pregnancy.

Daily updates on pregnancy science and occasional answers to pregnancy questions.

Hello, very happy to help you solve the problem, generally speaking, the first pregnancy because of the pregnant mother is inexperienced, about 20 weeks of pregnancy pregnant mothers can feel the fetal movement, the second child after the earlier, about 16-18 weeks of pregnancy can feel the fetal movement.

In fact, fetal activity is a little earlier, under the ultrasound can often be seen in the early stages of pregnancy, pregnant women can not feel until a few weeks after the start of fetal movement, this is because at the beginning of the fetal movement are very weak, only when large enough to vibrate the abdominal wall, you can feel the fetal movement.

Normal obvious fetal movement is not less than 3~5 times per hour, and the number of obvious fetal movement in 12 hours is more than 30~40 times. However, due to individual differences in the fetus as well as differences in the sensitivity of pregnant mothers, some fetuses can move about 100 times in 12 hours, as long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and not much change, that is, to prove that the development of the fetus is normal. As long as the movements are regular, rhythmic and with little change, the development of the fetus is normal.

Normal fetal movement suggests that the placenta is functioning well, the fetus is not lacking oxygen, and the fetus is growing healthily in the uterus.

I hope my answer will help you!

It is only after pregnancy with fetal movement that expectant mothers realize the happiness of being a mother. I was like that when I was pregnant with my eldest child, I was looking forward to the movement of the fetus, and then one time when I was having dinner, I felt that someone kicked me, and when I turned around and looked at no one, I realized that it was the fetus that was moving.

How many months of pregnancy does the fetus move?

Most pregnant mothers will feel fetal movement around 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy, and some sensitive pregnant mothers already feel fetal movement at 16 weeks. Early fetal movement is relatively gentle. Like a finger across the belly, like a butterfly stirring its wings, need to be attentive to feel, sometimes feel inadvertent stomach movement, generally is the baby kicked you. Fetal movement is more obvious after the pregnant mother has eaten, after taking a bath, before going to bed. Regarding the pattern of fetal movement, it will be more frequent between 9~11 o'clock every day and 10~12 o'clock at night.

The feeling of fetal movement is different for each pregnant mother, the fetus hit the uterus wall with hands or feet, pregnant mothers will feel more obvious. However, if you have a lot of fat on your belly, you will feel the movement later and weaker than normal. Previously, a fan asked me about the problem of fetal movement.What did she say fetal movement looked like? I'm 20 weeks pregnant and haven't felt it.Then I learned that she was on the chubby side and had a swimming circle on her belly, so she felt the fetus move later. Then at 22 weeks, she happily told me that the little baby kicked her, so amazing!

In short, as long as you do your maternity checkups on time, the fetus will develop normally and the fetal movement will become more and more obvious.

How many months pregnant will the fetus move? What will the pregnant mom feel?

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity impacting the uterine wall. The timing of feeling fetal movement is different for first-time moms and mothers who have given birth. Most new moms who are having their first birth don't feel fetal movement until after 18 weeks of pregnancy, and moms who are having their second or more births can feel fetal movement around 16 weeks of pregnancy. However, sometimes this is not exactly the case, some pregnant mothers will feel the movement of the fetus earlier, while others need to feel it after 20 weeks of pregnancy. For example, if your belly fat is thin and sensitive, then you may be able to feel the movement of the fetus earlier, which is normal.Most moms will feel noticeable fetal movement in the 5th month of pregnancy.

Mothers will feel differently about the first fetal movement:

Some pregnant mothers feel that the fetal movement is like swimming in water; some pregnant mothers feel like butterflies and birds stirring their wings; some pregnant mothers feel that it is a powerless little skinny kid kicking his stomach; some pregnant mothers feel that the fetal movement is like frogs jumping; some pregnant mothers feel that it is like a little piggy arching; and other pregnant mothers mistake the fetal movement for their own hunger... ...Isn't it interesting.

When my friend was pregnant for the first time, she kept muttering for two days that I was "always hungry", so don't eat yourself into a big fat man. Only later did she realize that this was fetal movement!

In fact, the fetal movement felt by the pregnant mother does not fully reflect the movement of the fetus in the womb. Fetal babies have dozens or even hundreds of activities in the uterus every day, while mothers can only feel a few or a dozen times of fetal movements. Until the 7th month of pregnancy, it doesn't make much sense for us to count fetal movements, as long as the pregnant mom can feel one. If your baby hasn't reached the time when you should feel fetal movement, or it's a little later than you expected, don't worry, it's normal.

Generally after 28 weeks of pregnancy, we can count the fetal movement. Every day in the morning, noon and evening to take out a fixed hour to count the fetal movement, fetal movement is normal, indicates that the placenta function is good, the delivery of oxygen to the fetus is sufficient, the fetus in the uterus grows and develops soundly.

How long it takes to get fetal movement in pregnancy also varies from person to person.

The first time an expectant mother feels fetal movement is one of the major events that are memorable and surprising.

Generally, you can feel fetal movement in the fourth month of pregnancy, or 16 weeks of pregnancy. However, there are some pregnant women who can feel the movement of the fetus in the 20th week of pregnancy, or even 24th week of eating.

The feeling of the first fetal movement:

For the first time, I felt the fetal movement was very slight, seemingly absent, like a breeze blowing across my cheeks, a butterfly flapping its wings, or a small fish spitting out bubbles.

There are times when even the pregnant mother herself wonders if this is fetal movement or if the wind is picking up.

Pregnant women feel the difference between early and late fetal movements:

1. Perception of pregnant women

Some pregnant mothers are more sensitive, and some are naturally rough, big-headed, so the fetus slight fetal movement, perception will not be obvious, so it will eat to feel the fetal movement.

2. How much abdominal fat a pregnant woman has

Some pregnant women have more abdominal fat and a larger belly, so fetal movement across the abdomen is more obstructed. Those with more abdominal fat feel the fetal movement significantly later than those with less abdominal fat.

3. placenta position

The position of the placenta can also affect the sensation of fetal movement, e.g., if the placenta is located in the anterior wall of the uterus instead of the posterior wall of the uterus it may not be felt in the same way.

4. Fetal character

Some fetuses are more active, cheerful and strong, so they move more, while on the contrary, they move less and pregnant women can't perceive them.

Patterns of Fetal Movement Activity

• Fetal movements are more frequent when a pregnant woman is agitated
• The fetus is also more active when the pregnant woman changes positions or is more comfortable;
• At night, without the distractions of the day, pregnant women also feel more fetal movement when they are relaxed.
