My stomach is twitching during pregnancy, what’s going on? It’s not the abnormal fetal movement, it’s the fetus doing it

After pregnancy, the pregnant mother may feel physically and mentally exhausted.

The slightest disturbance will make mothers worried.

For example, when a pregnant mother feels that the fetus is jumping in her belly, she will be very worried whether this is abnormal fetal movement.

There may be many new mothers who went to the hospital for examination because their babies had hiccups, and ended up making a joke.

When the baby develops to about 28 weeks, the baby begins to have the ability to swallow. At this time, although the baby does not need to actually eat, the baby will still swallow amniotic fluid to exercise his swallowing ability. If the baby eats too hard and too quickly while swallowing amniotic fluid, it may cause the baby to hiccup.

If the fetal movement is abnormal, it usually has no regularity, or the fetal movement is sudden and violent, or the frequency of fetal movement suddenly becomes less or even stops, which means the fetal movement is abnormal. Therefore, for the health of the fetus, after the fetus has fetal movement, the pregnant mother must continue to count the fetal movements every day. If she counts more fetal movements, she will naturally understand the pattern of the baby's fetal movements, and it will be easier to judge whether the fetal movement is occurring. abnormal.
