What is fetal movement?

It is the moment every expectant mother is waiting: the first noticeable movement of the child, the first sign of life, sometimes referred to as "acceleration". The fetal movement usually begins seven to nine weeks after conception and can be felt between 16 and 22 weeks after conception. Fetal movement usually includes bending, stretching, digging and punching.

During the first part of pregnancy, somewhere around the ninth week, the fetus is almost constantly constantly. The mother may not be aware of this movement because the fetus is less than one inch (2.5 cm) and weighs less than one ounce (28 g). At this intersection, the fetal movement can only be seen during the ultrasound test. Within the 11th week, the movement increased and the fetus is approximately two inches (5 cm). At the moment the child is also kicking and some mothers could actually feelIT Punt or two.

During the second trimester of pregnancy, the fetal movement is stronger, the muscles have been prolonged and organized and the expectant mother should be flutter. About 16 weeks is a fetus of approximately five inches (12.7 cm) and weighs more than three ounce (84 g). Not only is the fetus kicking, but some of the fetus could be attributed to the fetus that makes a real Somersault. Within the 19th week, the fetal movement should be seen for the upcoming mother. Doctors could ask the mother to notice any movement to monitor the development of the fetus.

During the third and last trimester of pregnancy, the fetal movement is quite strong. Constant movement could Evkhazh try to relax, slightly disrupting the expectant mother. At a time when the fetus reached 32 weeks, it will weigh approximately four pounds (1.8 kg) and the movement will increase tremendously due to the "cramped" neighborhood that the fetus experiences.

At this stage of pregnancy, there is a lot of fetal movement. PThe ship has developed hearing and can move to the rhythm of music or sound of a well -known voice. In addition, the fetus could develop hiccups that feel the expectant mother as the rhythmic small taps.
