Patient's question:
Doctor, I am currently 30 weeks pregnant. Recently, walking a few extra steps on Monday made the baby push the belly up and out (the baby movements were noticeable, especially after eating). Standing still, sitting, or lying down is fine. My baby's position is high up, pressing on my stomach and causing discomfort. I had an ultrasound, and there were no abnormalities. Is this situation normal? Now I don't dare to go for a walk!Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, I speculate: Please don't worry. At 30 weeks pregnant, this stage has relatively more amniotic fluid, and the fetus has normal activity in the uterus. You should eat small meals frequently and avoid overeating in one sitting. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, the baby's head will gradually engage in the pelvis, and you may notice less obvious fetal movements. Pay attention to counting fetal movements in the morning and evening, aiming for 3 to 5 times per hour, and ensure that 12 hours do not exceed more than 30 times. I hope this helps.
