As the number of weeks of pregnancy increases, fetal movement can be obviously felt. If the fetal movement at the beginning is relatively light, it will slowly feel the baby's fetal movement and become more powerful. Like kicking, punching this feeling, the amplitude of fetal movement will become more and more powerful. Normal fetal movement 3 to 5 times per hour, fetal movement with the progress of pregnancy gradually increased to 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy peak, gradually decreased after 38 weeks of pregnancy.
