Pregnancy represents one of the best phases of a woman's life. If everything works correctly and no major problems have occurred, every moment can be lived with great enthusiasm. Some of the most disturbing moments are when the baby feels inside the belly during this state.
the first kick of your baby or babies will be the first signs that make you feel that there is life inside your body. We analyze when you start to notice the baby, if they will increase and when it means a problem or not when you don't feel it.
When do you sit the baby?
Moms-to-be will begin to feel your baby around 4 months of gestation. It will depend on a few factors to determine when the exact week is and the woman feeling it. can be started from week 20 to 22, but if you are not a new mother you can feel it before, from the week 16 or 18 of pregnancy.
Women who have already had other pregnancies will begin to feel it sooner because the abdominal area and the walls of the uterus You have less muscle tone. Hence, there is more sensitivity to be able to differentiate movements.
It should be noted that, although the baby begins to be clearly noticeable from this week, it does not mean that it is when he begins to move for the first time. The baby already does it weeks ago, during the 8th and 9th week of gestation the baby It already measures 32 mm in length and already moves freely, but the movements are invaluable to mothers.
How often are baby movements noticeable?
From the second trimester of pregnancy the kicks can be continued, but may not yet be appreciable by the mother. When they begin to be noticed they will feel only once a day or not at all, until they begin to be continuous in the following days and more successive throughout the days.
There is no fixed pattern that determines it, maybe at night to be more relaxed and without noise you can become more susceptible. As the movement becomes more regular, doctors recommend continuing observing this regularity and frequency. If there is no this type of activity inside the belly, it could indicate a problem.
Throughout the days and formalizing a continuous movement, you will be able to notice up to 10 movements a day. But as we have reviewed, everything will depend on the complexion of the woman and the intensity in how this exercise is performed. A fixed number cannot be determined because there will be days with greater or lesser movements and intensity.
What does it mean when the baby offers its movements?
A doctor will mainly assess your movements as a guarantee that its growth continues on track. It demonstrates that well-being of the baby and in the periodic and supervision appointments it can be observed. During this review, the following will be taken into account:
- The movement of the trunk and hands. The movements of flexion and extension of legs and arms.
- It will also be observed if the typical yawning or swallowing coincide.
- Emphasis will be placed on the movements of your breathing, where all the activity of your muscles that are involved in inspiration and expiration will be part of it.
Can the baby's movements be provoked?
If at any time you need him to resume his activity in a timely manner, you can encourage him with some of these tricks:
- During visits with the doctor they can offer pregnant women a sweet solution so that it is transferred to the baby and causes a small agitation of movements during the visit.
- Drink a lot of water during the day it is very good to hydrate. If the baby feels that there is a slight dehydration, he will move much less or not at all.
- Lie down with your legs up, coming to form an angle of 45°.
- Lying down can also be done deep breaths.
- Try motivate him with some soft noise like putting on music or talking about it for a while.
At the end of the pregnancy, it must be assumed that the baby will move, but due to its little space, it will do so with more force and fewer times. You just have to wait a little longer for him to discover his new world and be able to move as much as he wants and freely.
