Fetal baby health indicators, the average number of times a day of normal fetal movement is 200 times for 24 weeks pregnant, and 575 times for 32 weeks is the peak, until the baby was born, will be reduced to 282 times, but most pregnant women do not feel so many of the movement of a fetus.
Each fetus has its own "biological clock", day and night are not the same between the number of fetal movement, usually at least the morning activities, noon, then gradually increase. 6 pm to 10 active fetal movement. Most of the fetus is fetal movement in the mother more frequently after dinner, because when blood glucose levels increase mother, the baby "satiate" have strength, so he began flexing its muscles of the. When mothers when hungry, blood glucose decreased, baby boring, and also more honest, this is a baby child self-protective behaviors.

What are the different fetal movement means?
1. Whole Body Movement: The whole body movement, such as turning. This movement forces are relatively strong, but under the action of each relatively long duration, usually 3-30 seconds.
2. Limb movement: stretching his arms, twisted look at himself and so, with every movement duration is generally 1 to 15 seconds.
3. Lower limb movement: that is, we often feel the baby kick movement. This action quickly, forces are relatively weak, the duration of each fetal movement usually under 1 second.
4. Chest wall movement: Comparison of short and weak, generally the mother is not easy to feel. When the fetal movement changes the law, we must be careful.
How to monitor the fetal movement for pregnant mothers at home?
Home monitoring of fetal movement, fetal movement should first have a certain understanding of common sense. Different activity for each fetus, and some good action, and some hi static. Yun Mami different number may be different conscious fetal movement. However, their activities are in the womb has its own laws and the normal range, pregnant mothers should careful of it over time, the baby will master the law of motion.
1. Daily measurement of fetal movement to find the number of idle time: Pregnant women from the 28th week of pregnancy, to find free time every day (recommended after dinner, because the more frequent fetal movement at this time), left side lying position adopted, 10 movements required records time; if less than 120 minutes, indicating the number of fetal movement is not abnormal, but if not feel fetal movement, or the time required for 10 movements greater than 2 hours, should be as soon as possible to find doctors for further examination.
2. Calculated the number of fixed period of time of fetal movement: mothers day, at morning, noon, and night time the use of measurement of fetal movement for an hour, if less than 3 times per hour that may be abnormal.
3. During the day the number of measuring fetal movement: the simplest way, that is, mothers in the 10 movements measured during the day, you can relax.
To facilitate better measurement of fetal movement, you can buy a simple auxiliary measurement of fetal favorite.
In placental insufficiency or fetal some diseases, fetal movement is often reduced in some chronic diseases caused by fetal death before the days of fetal movement often decreased or disappeared, and fetal heart sounds disappeared or fetal death, Therefore, severe intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus, fetal movement decreased or disappeared in need of immediate rescue. Sometimes, severe fetal movement also suggest fetal hypoxia, seen in placental abruption or umbilical cord compression, if untreated, fetal movement can disappear, intrauterine fetal death may occur.
So, once found abnormal fetal movement should immediately go to the hospital. The doctor will check the results under a variety of analysis, determine fetal, specific treatment measures to ensure safe motherhood.
Fetal abnormalities and Countermeasures:
1. Fetal movement decrease.
Reason: mothers hypoglycemia, fever
Countermeasures: pay attention to rest, attention to the temperature change with changes in clothing, avoid the cold; try to avoid going to crowded places; regular windows open for ventilation, keeping indoor air circulation, proper conduct of the exercise; more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruit.
2. Fetal movement suddenly increased, then decreased gradually.
Reason: baby fetal hypoxia by external stimuli, pregnant women with hypertension, as well as external noise stimulation
Strategy: There are mothers with pregnancy disorders, should be timed to the hospital for tests, and pay attention to rest, avoid over exertion; either walk or take the bus, as far as possible and keep a distance from others, less than a noisy environment to prevent the external force collision and stimulation; to maintain a good attitude, relax, control their emotions.
