Pregnant woman, let's monitor your fetal movements

It is important to monitor fetal movements by pregnant women. Besides being useful for building inner closeness between mother and fetus, monitoring fetal movements can also make pregnant women know if there are things that are not normal in your child. For women who are pregnant for the first time, fetal movements may begin to be felt when the pregnancy is approaching 25 weeks of age. Whereas in the second or subsequent pregnancy, fetal movements usually have begun to be felt when the gestational age of 18 weeks. However, the average pregnant woman begins to feel fetal movements in the gestational age range of 13-25 weeks.

Benefits of Monitoring Fetal Movement in the Womb

Monitoring fetal movements can help pregnant women know the growth of the fetus. In fact, by monitoring fetal movements, pregnant women can also find out early abnormalities that occur in the Little One. This can help reduce the risk of babies dying in the womb. Pregnant women can feel the peculiarities of the nature of fetal movements based on gestational age as follows:
Week 16: Pregnant women may feel like a butterfly is flying in the womb. This is a sign that the fetus is moving, but this sensation can also be a sign of air flow in the digestive tract. Initially Bumil may be difficult to distinguish between these two things, but over time, Bumil will know the patterns and differences between the two.
Week 20: At this time, pregnant women may feel fetal movements become faster, but the movement and frequency remains regular.
Week 24: Pregnant women may feel a twitch. This twitch happened because this week S Little was able to experience hiccups. Oh yes, at this time, the movement of the fetus is also increasingly felt, you know!
Week 28: Don't be surprised if Bumil feels an unusual movement. Because at this time, fetal movements have begun to occur frequently and sometimes movements such as kicking or punching.
At 28 weeks' gestation, pregnant women are advised to monitor fetal movements more frequently, including the frequency of their movements. This can help pregnant women ensure that your little one grows normally.
Week 36: Fetal movements will slow down a bit. This is usually caused by growth in the uterus. Even so, Bumil must remain vigilant if there are changes in movement that are too significant, for example being too fast or too slow. Pregnant women should still be able to feel regular fetal movements throughout the day.
If pregnant women have not felt the movement of the fetus in the stomach until 25 weeks of gestation, don't think negatively. Maybe the fetus is sleeping. When the fetus grows bigger, its movements will be more pronounced and pregnant women can already know when the fetus moves more actively.

What to Do when Pregnant Women Don't Feel Fetal Movement?

If you do not feel fetal movements or the fetus stops moving within a span of 2 hours, pregnant women must confirm it in the following ways:
  • Change position and be more relaxed. Pregnant women may also eat snacks. These methods can stimulate the fetus to move.
  • Consumption of very cold drinks, because sudden changes in temperature might make the fetus move.
  • Listen to music or sound to the fetus. Mother can also stimulate the movement of your child by talking to him. The aim is to get a response from the fetus in the form of movement.
In the third trimester, if the fetus does not move after stimulation as above or if the movement is not as usual, you should immediately check with your obstetrician. Pregnant women can monitor and feel the movement of the Little One at each stage of gestational age. Monitoring fetal movements has a variety of benefits, both for pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, do not neglect to carry out routine checks to the doctor, so that the growth and development of your child can be monitored properly.
