Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Around 8:00 PM, the fetal movement was intermittent for over ten minutes.History of Treatment and Effect: This was not a previous issue.
Help Needed: I would like to consult a doctor to see if this is normal.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the duration of fetal movement is long and it is relatively regular every day, it is generally considered normal. If the fetal movement suddenly becomes frequent, it may indicate oxygen deprivation. Therefore, you should pay attention to observing the fetal movement. Generally, a continuous cessation of fetal movement is counted as one instance of fetal movement. If the fetal movement is very frequent, it is necessary to have a check-up. If there is oxygen deprivation, it is important to receive oxygen. Normal fetal movement should be at least 3 to 5 times within one hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours should be more than 30 to 40 times. However, due to the large individual differences in fetuses, some fetuses may move around 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and does not change significantly, it proves that the fetal development is normal. The fetal movement is normal.
