Record of fetal movement frequency at 5 months of pregnancy

Expectant mother is 5 months pregnant! Congratulations, the task is already halfway completed! However, expectant mothers will clearly feel that fetal movements are more intense and frequent at 5 months of pregnancy than in previous months. At this time, it is important to remain calm. Fetal movements at 5 months of pregnancy are because the newborn's bones gradually grow and become hard, and stretching exercises are necessary. At this point, expectant mothers must keep a record of fetal movement frequency at 5 months of pregnancy to monitor the health status of the fetus.

The first thing expectant mothers need to know about recording the frequency of fetal movements at five months of pregnancy is: how many weeks are five months of pregnancy, because using months can only vaguely calculate time, and calculating in weeks is more accurate. 21 or 20 weeks of pregnancy is the accurate time for 5 months of pregnancy. The recording of fetal movement frequency should be based on normal values. Usually, the fetal activity frequency within 12 hours is 30 starts and 100 stops. The daily routine of fetuses is different from that of adults. The most active time for expectant mothers is before they finish eating and go to bed at night. It is recommended that expectant mothers record fetal movements every morning, noon, and evening, and then multiply the total of the three values by 4 to calculate the dynamic frequency of the baby for 12 hours. This work must be carried out continuously, and one must not fish for three days or bask in the net for two days. In addition to recording the frequency of fetal movements, expectant mothers need to start their pregnancy care work during the fifth month of pregnancy. You can start from three aspects: supplementing calcium, strictly controlling your own weight, and taking measures to prevent pregnancy edema.

Timely supplementation of calcium during pregnancy for 5 months can lead to rapid growth of fetal bones and a significant need for calcium intake. Moreover, as the fetus gradually grows, the burden on expectant mothers will also increase, and the consumption of energy and nutrients in the body is also enormous. Calcium is one of the most basic trace elements required by the human body, and it is necessary to supplement it in a timely manner. If expectant mothers experience calcium deficiency, they must not take calcium supplements or health products on their own. They must take calcium supplements under the guidance and advice of a doctor. By the time you strictly control your own weight and become pregnant for 5 months, most pregnant women's pregnancy discomfort has disappeared and their appetite is better than before. With the concept of "one person eating two meals", some pregnant mothers are prone to falling into the misconception of overeating. Expectant mothers are most likely to gain weight and gain weight when they are five months pregnant, and controlling reasonable weight gain is very important. Excessive weight during pregnancy can exacerbate delivery difficulties, leading to a series of pregnancy diseases that are detrimental to both the mother and fetus. Pregnancy edema should be prevented. After 5 months of pregnancy, some mothers may experience varying degrees of edema, which can cause pain and affect the health of the mother and fetus. To prevent edema during pregnancy, expectant mothers should control their salt intake and maintain an appropriate amount of exercise when their physical conditions permit. They should ensure that there is enough drinking water every day during pregnancy, and should not exceed it in moderation. As long as they do not feel thirsty, they should try not to drink water. In addition, in addition to daily health exercises, it is best for pregnant women to focus on rest and rest.
