What should I do if the baby's movements are noticeably weaker these past two days at 26 weeks pregnant?

Patient's question:

Baby's movements were noticeably stronger a few days ago at 26 weeks of pregnancy, but suddenly weakened over the past two days. The duration of the movements is still about the same, but they lack the previous strength. For example, while I used to feel 10 kicks at this time, now I might only feel 4 or 5, and they are not as strong as before. I had a prenatal check-up last Wednesday and the fetal heartbeat was normal.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. I hope it will be helpful to you. Under normal circumstances, during the late stages of pregnancy, monitoring fetal movement for one hour in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with 3-5 movements per hour considered normal. It is recommended to attend prenatal check-ups on schedule, engage in appropriate outdoor activities, maintain a joyful mood at all times, eat less spicy and cold foods, and ensure a balanced diet. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if the baby's movements become weaker in the past two days at 26 weeks of pregnancy?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
