Accepted Answer

Sleep wake cycles: Thankfully a fetal movement pattern often mimics the mothers sleep//wake cycle to some degree. This means more movement during the day and less at predictable sleep periods. Movement will occur during these periods but are less intense &amp; may not be perceived.

Question 2

27 weeks pregnant with twins and have noticed reduced fetal movement in 1 twin and have low amniotic fluid on the last ultrasound.my friend is worried?

Accepted Answer

Twins: Situations as described need immediate attention from an OB physician or a maternal fetal medicine specialist.  Diminished movement is always the case with twins, but low amniotic fluid needs evaluation and constant monitoring.

Question 3

iam in my fifth month pregnancy  but i did not feel any fetal  movement is this serious?

Accepted Answer

18-22 weeks: Most people will begin to feel the baby move between 18-22 weeks. If you are further along than that you should see a doctor.

Question 4

i have had signs of pregnancy but negative tests. is there other conditions that could cause the feeling of fetal movement?

Peristalsis: As the the muscles in the GI tract move fluids and gas you may be able to feel that.

Question 5

is less fetal movement common in women who are past 33 weeks of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No.: Decreased maternally perceived fetal activity portends poor prognosis for fetal well-being and should be promptly evaluated in the emergency room in the third trimester.

Question 6

is it normal to have rapid fetal movement especially near the rectum area at 22+ weeks of pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There's no such thing of the baby moving too much.  In fact, the more fetal movement, the better. Painful at times for mom, but great for baby!

Question 8

i am almost into my 38 weeks of pregnancy , these 2 days i have more braxton hicks but much less fetus movement . is it normal ? thanks very much

Accepted Answer

Fetal movement: The baby is large and getting ready for delivery. It is hard to move around a lot in such a tight space. The baby slows down and the uterus gets ready to go into labor. So all sounds normal. As long as you feel fetal movements, even if they are way  less, it is ok.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

OB-GYN consult: I may be a bit concerned by no fetal movement.Please discuss with your attending dr.

Question 10
