Question
I am 35 weeks and 6 days pregnant. The baby has been very active since the fetal movements started. The baby has been very lively, and the examination was normal. Recently, the baby has remained active and strong, but is quieter only during naptime. The baby is particularly active during the day. Isn’t fetal movement supposed to decrease in the later stages of pregnancy?
Answer
Based on the described situation, increased fetal movement in the late stages of pregnancy may be due to the fetus descending into the pelvis and the reduction of uterine space. It is recommended to maintain relaxation, closely observe fetal movements, and have regular fetal heart monitoring. Pay attention to rest, avoid overexertion, and have periodic prenatal check-ups. If the examination is normal, there is no need to worry.
