The "Daily activities" Of The Fetus In The Womb: Eating And Sleeping, Practicing And Playing, Very Busy
Since pregnancy, the baby is expecting the birth of the baby.
Especially after fetal movement in the third trimester, mothers can't help but wonder, wondering what the baby is doing when moving like this? Sometimes when the baby is asleep, the baby cannot stop, which makes the pregnant mother's sleep quality worse.
What does the fetus do in the mother's womb every day? In fact, he is more "busy" than you think. In addition to sleeping, he is also a bit mischievous. After all, he has a long time, so he has to find something to dispel.
When they develop to a certain level, they can hear, feel, and lose their temper, which is too cute to say.
Things that your baby is busy every day:
1. Sleep (occupy most of the time)
Although the fetus is naughty, most of the time in the mother's belly is still used to sleep.
They need to absorb enough nutrients during sleep to promote brain and body development, and prepare for subsequent births.
2. Swimming in the amniotic fluid like a fish
Amniotic fluid fills the uterus, giving the baby a relatively stable living environment.
After the baby has enough sleep, he will swim freely in the amniotic fluid, stretch his body, slide from one side to the other, and sometimes turn over, roll, and stretch his fists and feet.
When the movement is small, the pregnant mother will feel the small fetal movement. When the movement is large, you may see his "small hands and small feet" on the belly.
3. Concentrate on "eat"
The baby is a snack food, and start eating when he has enough sleep and play.
After the mother fell asleep, the fetus might be concentrating on "eating". It is very satisfying to eat, and will bother you.
Usually after the fetus is three months old, the placenta development is completed, the umbilical cord is connected to the placenta, and it begins to take on the task of delivering nutrients.
4. Pursue light instinctively
Although the baby is separated from the outside world by the uterus and mother's belly, the strong light can still be felt by the baby.
At 4 months of pregnancy, if the light of a flashlight shines on the belly of a pregnant woman, the baby will instinctively open his eyes to follow the light.
By the second trimester of pregnancy, starting from about 25 weeks, the baby can learn to open and close eyes, and do blinking exercises.
PS: The eyes of the fetus are still immature. Avoid the stimulation of strong light . The sun's rays are more suitable. You should bask in the sun on sunny days, but do not go out when the sun is hot.
5. Hear the sound
The auditory development of the fetus starts from the third month of pregnancy.
External stimuli can make babies react, and amniotic fluid can transmit sounds, hear the mother's voice, and feel the emotions in it.
Therefore, if they hear gentle words, they will also interact with their mother very intimately, which is also a kind of fetal movement.
6. Yawn, suck and swallow
After 11 weeks of pregnancy, the baby has acquired new skills-yawning, sucking and swallowing.
The fetus will open its mouth wide and then slowly close it; it will also suck and swallow the amniotic fluid, using the amniotic fluid as a good game item.
7. Pee (it's really a bad baby)
The fetus will also urinate, and the urine they excrete will enter the maternal blood after being filtered by the placenta , and then become amniotic fluid again through exchange. As for the toxic substances, they are excreted through the mother's body, which is really a little clever ghost.
However, peeing is only an ordinary physiological process for the fetus, and it is also an important part of growth and development.
Of course, pregnant mothers don't have to worry about whether the urine of the fetus is dirty, because the fetus's nutrition is transported from the umbilical cord through the placenta, without digestion and absorption, and there is not much waste.
If the fetus does not pee, this is the big problem.
8. Dreaming
The fetus will also dream during sleep, but don’t know what it will dream of?
Scientists have discovered through modern technology such as electroencephalograms that when babies sleep in the womb, they will also go through the sleep phase of rapid eye movement, which indicates that they may be experiencing dreams.
Although we don't know, such thinking activities are very helpful to the baby's neurodevelopmental.
9. Occasionally cry and laugh
At the end of pregnancy or before delivery, the fetus has already started to cry, some babies will cry loudly, and some babies will cry slightly.
In addition, they will also laugh. Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can clearly capture the fetal smile.
But why the baby will only cry after birth, and will not laugh until 4-6 weeks later, there is no accurate answer to this question.
10. Hiccups
Fetal baby still hiccups without eating? It sounds funny, but it is true.
In the second trimester of pregnancy, the baby will have regular fetal movements, like hiccups. The modern medical explanation is that the baby is practicing breathing movements so that the lungs can mature as soon as possible to adapt to the environment after birth.
11. Exercise is a favorite
The fetus will move around lively in the womb, stretching arms and legs, occasionally turning over, and kicking a few feet from time to time, which is incredibly cute.
12. Playing with the umbilical cord
The umbilical cord is a "channel" for feeding nutrition to the fetus, but boring babies sometimes use it as a toy. This is how some babies are entangled by the umbilical cord during play, which may be dangerous.
Therefore, in the third trimester of pregnancy, mothers must remember to count fetal movements frequently and do fetal heart rate monitoring regularly
13, lose your temper
The mother's emotions can affect the baby. The pregnant woman's anger, quarrels, crying, etc. will make the fetus dissatisfied and lose her temper due to anxiety.
Mother’s emotional management during pregnancy is very important, try not to affect the fetus, otherwise it will be more difficult to bring it after birth.
Other cold knowledge:
1. The fetus has memory
The Maastricht University Hospital in the Netherlands used a vibration and sound stimulator in an experiment to test 25 fetuses ranging from 37 to 40 weeks in a harmless manner.
The results show that the fetus in the womb can also learn to master short-term and long-term memory.
Pregnant mothers can listen to some soothing music every day. After repeating it for a few days, the fetus at 32 weeks will remember and sway the body with the music.
2. The fetus has feelings
The fetal baby likes mother's gentle touch across the belly, likes soothing and relaxing music, dislikes sharp and noisy noises, dislikes music with too strong rhythm, and dislikes strong light.
Moreover, he will also feel uncomfortable with rapid bumps. The pregnant mother's sitting or standing posture is not appropriate. If he feels uncomfortable, he will use fetal movement to "protest"~
