Pregnant 34 weeks, frequent fetal movement

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Be alert to fetal hypoxia in utero. During pregnancy, fetal movements should be three to five times per hour. If this range is exceeded, it may indicate that the fetus is experiencing intrauterine hypoxia. It is important to undergo an ultrasound to assess the fetal heart rate and amniotic fluid levels, and to conduct regular follow-up examinations.
