Patient's question:
Problem Description: I am 3 months and 10 days pregnant. This morning upon waking up, I felt obvious fetal movements, and sometimes I could feel hard lumps.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it takes about an hour for fetal movement 3 to 5 times, with continuous movements within one or two minutes counted as one time. If the fetal movement seems excessive, it could be a sign of oxygen deprivation? Yes, the movements are a bit too much. Try breathing in oxygen, and maintain a left lateral position. You can also use a fetal monitor to listen. Place the probe below the navel, either on the left or right side.Under normal circumstances, excessive fetal movement is a good sign. It not only indicates that the fetus is developing normally but also suggests that the child will develop grasping, holding, crawling, sitting, and other motor skills more quickly after birth. However, it must be noted that excessive tension in the pregnant woman, extreme fatigue, or excessive pressure on the abdomen can all cause the fetus to become restless and highly active. This reaction is not a good sign, as it can not only increase the risk of miscarriage or preterm labor but also lead to fetal malformations or adverse effects on the child's behavior after birth.
