Fetal movement in the mother's womb Mothers wait for the fetal movements in the uterus impatiently, because of their positive psychological and health impact, as it is an important indication of the process of development of the fetus in the womb of the mother in the right direction. The fetus begins to move slightly at the end of its eleventh week, but these movements are not felt by the mother. The mother begins to feel the movements of her baby between the sixteenth and twenty-fifth week if this is the first pregnancy, and may pass the mother who is experiencing pregnancy in advance to feel these movements during the thirteenth week of pregnancy. Fetal movements are described as fluttering, or uprisings and convulsions. It is noteworthy that the position of the mother affects her ability to feel the movements of the fetus, where the chances of feeling more at rest, such as sitting or lying down. [1] [2] Fetal movement before birth The fetus movement in the eighth month of pregnancy increases significantly. These movements diminish in the ninth month of pregnancy, due to the large size of the fetus and the limited space available within the uterus. The position of the fetus changes naturally before birth to head down often, and becomes closer to the bottom of the pelvis from earlier periods, to make it ready for the stage of childbirth and out to the world. Pre-natal anxiety in the mother can reduce her ability to sense the baby's movements, if any. [3] [4] The association of prenatal fetal movement varies with the time of birth itself, where it is strong before premature birth, ie during the eighth month of pregnancy. Pregnancy or earlier, while the movement is weak before the late birth, ie during the ninth month. It is important that the mother does not worry about the health of the fetus if she moves into late childbirth in case of poor fetal movement, but can be verified by counting the movements of the fetus during certain periods of time, depending on the method of counting ten different movements of the fetus in each There is an urgent need to see a doctor unless there is a continuous decrease in the number of these movements. [4] [5] Normal range of fetal movements The nature of movements that the mother feels during periods of development and development of the fetus, where movements begin to appear Minor, then it develops as it grows stronger and may cause pain De mother at the end of pregnancy, and the embryos differ among themselves at a rate of activity. The mother easily begins to feel the movements of her baby between the 20th and 24th week of pregnancy, but this feeling does not last around the clock, as these movements stop during fetal sleep, or when the mother is busy and not paying full attention. [6] The movements of the fetus in the mother's abdomen between 15-45 movements per hour in the last third of the stage of pregnancy, in the periods of awakening the fetus, and these movements disappear during the period of fetal sleep, which takes between twenty and forty minutes at a time, and may sometimes reach 90 [6] Signs of childbirth Mothers often wonder about approaching labor And signs associated with her, and labor is the birth that begins with contractions of the uterus and ends with the birth of a child and leaving the world process. It should be noted that the appearance of signs of birth differ in each case, but can be summarized the most important signs of the approaching date of labor. The following are the most important signs that appear between an hour and a month before birth: [7] [8] Fetal prolapse down: The fetus prepares for delivery between two and four weeks before labor, by falling down the pelvis, and head down. Taking this position causes the mother to move more frequently and needs to urinate more frequently because of the pressure of the fetal head on the bladder, but the process of breathing becomes smoother after coming down and less pressure on the lungs. Enlargement of the uterus: where the process of delivery weeks or days before the expansion of the uterus, and become somewhat thin, and this expansion is examined periodically in the period before the birth, and may take longer in some women. Feeling convulsions and pain in the lower back: These pains increase convulsions because of the preparation of muscles and joints for the birth process, and these signs appear more in women who have experienced birth before. Relaxation of the joints: Relaxin relaxation before birth gives rise to relaxation of the ligaments, causing a feeling of relaxation and relaxation in the joints, and this happens to prepare the pelvis for labor and the fetus out of the mother's body. Diarrhea: where the rectum muscle relaxes in conjunction with the relaxation of the uterus and other muscles in the body, causing diarrhea. Some women may also experience these symptoms at other stages during pregnancy. Fluids should be compensated and not anxious about these natural symptoms. Weight gain stopped: due to prenatal amniotic fluid loss and increased activity in some women, some women may lose weight shortly before birth. You should not worry about the weight of the fetus as it usually increases despite the mother's weight loss or the stop of weight gain. Increased fatigue: with the desire to rest and lack of movement, and this is due to lack of sleep caused by large size of the abdomen and increased diuresis, and it is worth mentioning that some women increase their prenatal activity significantly. Loss of cervical mucus plug: In addition to changing the characteristics of vaginal discharge, these signs are born a few days or hours, and is considered the cervical mucus plug is a barrier separating the inside of the uterus and outside during pregnancy, and is eliminated this plug as a whole mucus or small parts, This plug may go away during labor and not before. The color and composition of the vaginal discharge changes to become more intense and pinkish. Feeling strong and consecutive contractions
