First, music stimulation method. Fetuses are often very sensitive to music, so if you want to stimulate your baby to move, you can listen to soothing prenatal music for your baby.

The third is the family calling method. The baby begins to have a certain ability to distinguish sounds when he is in the belly. This is why parents should talk to the baby more during prenatal education. If you want the baby to move, parents can talk or tell stories to the baby. In this way, the baby may become happy and active when he hears the call from his relatives.
How many fetal movements are considered normal in the 5th month of pregnancy
Under normal circumstances, the fetal movements should fluctuate between 3 and 5 times per hour. Fetal movement is the least in the morning, followed by noon, and most between six and ten o'clock in the evening. There are two reasons:
1. This is because the pregnant mother eats and drinks enough at this time, blood sugar rises, and the baby He also eats and drinks enough, feels full of energy, and has relatively more punches and kicks.
2. At this time, the pregnant mother can calm down and feel the baby's fetal movements, so she feels the fetal movements increase.
Generally, when counting fetal movements, a more convenient time will be chosen half an hour after morning, noon, and dinner. Count for one hour. Add up the fetal movement counts in the morning, noon, and night and multiply by 4 to get 12 hours. Fetal movement counting.
The fetal movement count in 12 hours should be greater than 30 to 40 times. If it is less than 20 times, it means that the fetus is abnormal in the womb, and the pregnant mother should pay attention to it and provide oxygen and observation. If the fetal movement is less than 10 times, it proves that the fetus is hypoxic in the womb, and you should seek medical treatment immediately. How to stimulate fetal movement 2
How to stimulate fetal movement
Fetal movement will appear around the fifth month of pregnancy. The appearance of fetal movement makes expectant parents extremely excited and happy. It's as if he has become a child. So interacting with the baby every day is the favorite thing for parents-to-be to do. But what if the fetus is moved like this when it is not moving? Is there any way?
1. You can gently touch the belly with your fingers
Although the baby is separated from the outside world by a uterus, In fact, the baby can feel the outside atmosphere even inside. Therefore, for the question of how to make the fetus move when it is not moving, you can gently pat the belly to make the baby move, or you can gently touch the belly with your fingers and talk to the baby gently.
2. You can play some soft music
The word "prenatal education" is often mentioned, but in fact it is not unreasonable. Because the baby can intuitively feel the mother's emotions and other changes in the belly, and can also hear some sounds from the outside world. When the baby is motionless, you can try playing some soft music. Maybe the baby will be able to feel the wonderful music and move and interact with the mother.
When is the latest time for the fetal heart rate to appear?
The fetal heart rate refers to the first two weeks during the development of a fertilized egg, which is called the gestational egg. After that, various organs gradually form. Before 8 weeks of pregnancy, it is called the embryo (or fetal bud); the period from the third to the first month of pregnancy is called the embryonic stage. Because of the development of the embryo, the fetal sac is formed in 30-40 days, the fetal bud is formed in 40-50 days, and the fetal heart is formed in 50-60 days. Therefore, the general B-ultrasound should be done around 60 days. At this time You can see whether the fetal sac, fetal bud, and fetal heart rate are normal.
The period from the third to the first month of pregnancy is called the fetal stage. The fetal body is 0.5-1 cm shaped like a small seahorse. The normal fetal heart rate is regular and powerful, like a clock ticking, and is 120-160 times/min. If it is 160 times/min, you can listen to it again at an interval of 10-20 minutes. If it is still not normal, it indicates intrauterine hypoxia. If the fetal heart rate is in an abnormal range and accompanied by irregular fetal heart rhythm, it indicates that fetal hypoxia is more severe.
The earliest fetal heart rate can be seen at six weeks, and the latest at eight weeks. Pregnant mothers usually see the gestational sac at 5 weeks of pregnancy, and fetal buds and primitive cardiac pulsations at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy. Seeing fetal heartbeat is the basis for diagnosis of early pregnancy and indicates a live fetus. If the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat are not seen after 7 weeks of pregnancy. It is necessary to determine whether the gestational age is consistent with the number of weeks of menopause, dynamically observe blood HCG and progesterone, review the color ultrasound, and judge whether the embryo is developing well based on the results.
Generally speaking, fetal heart rate and fetal buds are an important sign of healthy development of the baby. However, in many cases, the baby will stop developing due to various reasons, so there will be no fetal heart rate and fetal buds. There are two symptoms when the embryo stops developing. The first is continuous vaginal bleeding. The second is that although there are no symptoms of vaginal bleeding, when doing a B-timeout, you will find that the embryo has stopped developing and there is no fetal bud and fetal heartbeat. In this case, most people don't feel anything and suggest going to the hospital for examination. How to stimulate fetal movement in your baby 3
When can you feel fetal movement
This varies from person to person. Multiparous women experience pregnancy earlier than first-time mothers, usually around 20 weeks of pregnancy, and some pregnant mothers can feel it around 16 weeks. Fetal movements gradually increase with increasing gestational age, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy. Subsequently, as the fetus increases, the amniotic fluid decreases, and the fetal movement space becomes relatively smaller. After 38 weeks of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements gradually decreases, and the intensity gradually weakens.
So when should pregnant mothers start counting fetal movements?
Since so far, my country’s definition of perinatal period is from 28 weeks of pregnancy, it is meaningful to start counting fetal movements at 28 weeks. The viability of the fetus before this is limited, so even if there is abnormal fetal movement, the measures that can be taken clinically are extremely limited, and there is currently no effective clinical intervention method.
How should fetal movements be counted? When to count?
First of all, let’s talk about the posture of counting fetal movements. If conditions permit, pregnant mothers can adopt a semi-recumbent or side-lying position. If conditions do not permit, they can also feel fetal movement in daily life or work. Next, let’s talk about the time to count fetal movements. At present, the most clinically used method of counting fetal movements is to choose a fixed hour in the morning, noon and evening every day to count, and it is best to fix it before or after meals, because eating has an impact on fetal movements. It has an impact.
Add up the number of fetal movements in the morning, middle and late hours and multiply by 4, which is the number of fetal movements in 12 hours. Under normal circumstances, the number of fetal movements in 1 hour is no less than 3-5, 12 The number of fetal movements per hour is no less than 30 times. What pregnant mothers need to know is that the number of fetal movements counted every day is not strictly the same. It can be different, as long as it is not more than doubled or less than half.
Some babies are very active, so the number of fetal movements will naturally be more. Pregnant mothers should not worry. If the number of fetal movements has been like this from the beginning, it is considered normal. Fetal movements are generally more active in the afternoon and evening, so you can also count fetal movements in the afternoon and evening. More than 10 fetal movements in 2 hours are considered qualified fetal movements.
Pregnant mothers need to pay attention to the fact that the baby has a certain sleep cycle, which lasts about 20-40 minutes each time. During this period, the baby may not move or the fetal movement is very small. In addition, pregnant mothers should know that external stimuli such as sound, light, touching the abdominal wall, eating, and exercising will affect the number of fetal movements. Therefore, it is recommended that it be fixed before and after meals and at rest. Count the fetal movements.
How is abnormal fetal movement defined?
We have already mentioned the standard of normal fetal movement. On the contrary, the fetal movement increases significantly in a short period of time, more than doubling the fetal movement, the fetal movement decreases significantly, decreases by more than half, or the number of fetal movements in 12 hours is less than 20 times, all were abnormal fetal movements.
Attention, pregnant mothers: If the baby's fetal movements are too frequent or even continuous for a long period of time, or the fetal movements are greatly reduced or even disappear, it means that the baby is in a state of hypoxia in the womb, which is the reason for the baby's abnormality. If you send out a distress signal, you must seek medical treatment promptly. We recommend seeking medical attention within 12 hours after discovering abnormal fetal movements!
