Pregnant women with bated breath wait for every movement of the fetus. After all, perturbations are an excellent indicator of his health. Every mother can feel the movement of the baby, but only one who knows the background of this phenomenon can understand why this is happening and when to wait for the first shocks.
Any woman who gives birth with a smile on her face talks about the thrusts of her child. These are joyful moments when the expectant mother feels life inside herself, communicates with the baby and will receive a response to her actions and even words. Around the eighth week of pregnancy, the fetus begins to form a nervous system. It is she who is responsible for the movement of the little person. Nerve fibers and muscle tissue are laid in the fetus. Fibers cause movement - they transmit impulses to the muscles and they contract. The baby begins to move very early, and at first it goes unnoticed by the mother. After all, the fetus at the eighth - ninth week is still too small, it moves along the uterus without touching its walls. So, not giving mom a reason to feel her baby. At sixteen weeks, the fetus begins to respond to sounds, at 18 - he touches the umbilical cord with handles, works with his fingers. It is known that already at this time the child is able to cover his face with his hands in response to loud sounds. Most often, expectant mothers feel the sensation of stirring inside by about the twenty-second week of pregnancy. They occur much earlier, but it is not always immediately possible to understand that it is the baby who is pushing. The kid grows and develops, so he begins to move more and more, his movements become conscious. After the thirtieth week, mothers are especially aware of their feelings. Vigorous movement of the baby is not a cause for concern - just get ready for a playful and active baby. But the lethargy of the fetus indicates that the child does not want to move, and this should be the reason for going to a specialist.
