For 40 weeks, I have been feeling the baby moving in my stomach.

About 40 weeks pregnant, it is almost time for the baby to arrive. At this stage, expectant mothers and their families are always particularly nervous and worried. If they are too nervous, they will inevitably make many jokes. So in order to distinguish accurately, here is a very common problem. Expectant mother is pregnant for about 40 weeks, what will happen if fetal movement is frequent?

What is the reason for frequent fetal movement in 40 weeks?

After 40 weeks of pregnancy, there are two situations: a hard stomach and frequent fetal movements:

1. Fetal hypoxia: Fetal fetal movement will be frequent in the early stage of fetal hypoxia. If persistent hypoxia is not relieved, fetal movement will be significantly reduced in the late stage of severe hypoxia. At this time, it is recommended that pregnant women go to the hospital for examination in time, and if they lack oxygen, they can take oxygen therapy; At the same time, pregnant women should also do B-ultrasound examination to see if the placenta is aging, and if it is aging, it will also make the fetus hypoxic.

2. The expected date of delivery of pregnant women is approaching: if the stomach is hard, the fetal movement is frequent, and accompanied by a feeling of falling, it is probably the third trimester, which is a normal phenomenon. Occasionally, I have a stomachache, and then I will relieve myself. It may be a false contraction, which is normal. The closer you are to the baby, the more false contractions there will be. Pregnant women can do B-ultrasound to understand the situation of fetus, placenta and amniotic fluid, and comprehensively consider whether oxytocin is needed to induce labor according to these results.

Precautions for pregnant women in the third trimester

The third trimester will be close to the labor period, so we must insist on prenatal examination. 28-36 weeks, at least every two weeks; After 36 weeks, check once a week. 2. Strengthen nutrition, ensure sleep, pay attention to hygiene and exercise properly.

Control the intake of salt, don't be overweight or squat, don't take a bath, don't share a room, so as to avoid premature birth and premature water breakthrough.

Learn self-care and family monitoring, can listen to fetal heart rate, count fetal movements, feel fetal position, measure uterine height, etc. If the fetal movement is less than 20 times in 12 hours, the fetal heart rate is less than 120 times, more than 160 times or the movement is irregular, you should seek medical attention immediately.

In the following five situations, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately.

A, vaginal redness, abdominal distension, frequent urination, 10 minute uterine contraction for 2-3 times (each contraction is more than 30 seconds);

B, vaginal running water or blood;

C, edema of lower limbs and even the whole body, headache, dizziness, vomiting, and elevated blood pressure;

D. Regular or irregular contractions occurred 37 weeks ago;

E. The estimated delivery date has exceeded 10 days.

The approach of the third trimester means that all pregnant women should be vigilant. If the fetus or stomach is abnormal, find out the reason in time. For example, 40 weeks, hard stomach and frequent fetal movements. In addition, pregnant women should also keep up with nutrition, sleep, hygiene and exercise to ensure the smooth delivery of healthy babies.
