Fetal movements are frequent at night, is the baby hypoxia? Pregnant women should be vigilant

Fetal movement is the most direct form of communication between mother and child. Many expectant mothers will touch their belly unconsciously and like to interact with their baby as soon as there is fetal movement. For women who are mothers for the first time, this feeling is very magical. After more than 20 weeks of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements will become more and more frequent. However, too much or too little fetal movement may make mothers anxious, and parents are especially worried about fetal asphyxia. So frequent fetal movement at night, is the baby hypoxia? Pregnant women should be aware.

"My baby's fetal movement has been very strong lately at night. I couldn't sleep at all because of the kick. Sometimes I finally fell asleep and was kicked up again in the middle of the night. I don't know if this is normal or not, so worried?"

This is a private letter sent to me by a fan today. I believe that many expectant mothers will encounter this situation. I have been pregnant twice, and I also feel that the baby moves very strongly at night. Some expectant mothers may worry that the baby's fetal movement is so strong, whether there is an accident. In fact, there are four main reasons for the baby's strong fetal movement at night. The expectant mother does not need to worry too much after seeing it.

Insomnia and irritability of pregnant mother

Emotions can also affect fetal movement. Pregnant mothers are prone to irritability or anxiety, and a little thing may make them angry. If the pregnant mother is in a bad mood during the day, such as quarreling with her husband, the baby may move a lot at night. In addition, if the pregnant woman has severe insomnia, the baby will also be restless, and the pregnant mother should adjust it in time.

Hungry

If the fetal movement is too active at night, it may be that the baby is hungry. Some pregnant mothers eat dinner very early and go to bed later. The food in their stomachs is basically digested when they fall asleep. If they do not replenish energy in time, they will easily be hungry after falling asleep, and the fetus will also resist. If your baby moves a lot in the middle of the night and you are a little hungry, you might as well eat something!

The mother and son's schedule is out of sync

When the month is small, the fetus is resting most of the time, and the fetal movement is sometimes absent. However, in the later stages of pregnancy, the fetus and the mother become more and more tacit, and the fetus will move a lot within a certain period of time. Or often stay up late or have severe insomnia, the fetus may move a lot at night.

Sleeping position makes baby uncomfortable

Improper sleeping position will make the baby feel uncomfortable, and the fetus may be naughty in the abdomen. At this time, the mother may wish to change the sleeping position. In fact, there is no need for expectant mothers to sleep on the left side deliberately. Sleeping on the right side is also a good choice. The difference between the two is minimal. Some pregnant mothers are more comfortable sleeping on the right side, and the baby will be more obedient in the womb. In addition, sometimes you can maintain a lying down sleeping position, such as the stage of a smaller month, in the third trimester, lying down sleeping is not recommended, and it is best to keep a side sleeping position.

In short, it is normal for the baby to move more strongly at night. Of course, expectant mothers should also be alert to abnormal fetal movements. For example, the baby suddenly moves very violently, or suddenly stops after frequent fetal movements. In these cases, expectant mothers should remember to seek medical attention in time. , so as not to cause an accident to the fetus.
