Why does the baby keep kicking his legs?

The phenomenon of the baby kicking its legs after pregnancy is actually the so-called fetal movement. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to make a fuss about it. Generally speaking, fetal movement will occur 4 months after pregnancy. From the fifth month after pregnancy, fetal movement will be extremely obvious. The fetus will kick its legs, stretch its hands, or kick its legs. The number and strength of fetal movements have a great relationship with the child's physical health. Here is some information about fetal movement.

Fetal movement refers to the active movement of the fetus in the mother's womb, such as breathing, mouth opening, rolling, etc. If the movement is passive due to the mother's coughing, breathing and other actions, it is not considered fetal movement. By the 8th week of pregnancy, the baby has begun to take human form and has grown limbs. At this time, the fetus will wriggle in the abdomen. This is the initial fetal movement, but it is very weak, so the pregnant mother cannot feel it and it can only be seen on B-ultrasound.

Fetal movement, as the name suggests, refers to the movement of the fetus in the mother's womb. Generally speaking, the number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. The number of fetal movements is not constant. Generally, expectant mothers will begin to feel fetal movements at the 20th week of pregnancy. As the gestational age increases, the fetal movements gradually increase, reaching a peak at 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, and begin to gradually decrease after 38 weeks of pregnancy. Before going to bed at night: Babies move the most at night. On the one hand, they are more energetic. On the other hand, pregnant mothers can usually calm down and feel the baby's fetal movements at this time, so they will feel that the baby moves particularly a lot.

In fact, fetal movement has great clinical significance. By observing the fetal movement in the early stages of pregnancy, it is possible to effectively predict whether miscarriage will occur. If the fetal movement rate is only about 3% after seven weeks of pregnancy, then the possibility of miscarriage is very high. If there is still no fetal movement after nine weeks of pregnancy, then miscarriage can hardly be avoided.
