1, pay attention to the number of fetal movements.

Counting fetal movements is one of the ways for pregnant mothers to understand fetal growth, which requires pregnant mothers to count them every morning, noon and evening. Usually, there is a formula to calculate the number of fetal movements in a baby 12 hour, that is, multiply the number of fetal movements in the morning, middle and late hours by 4.

Generally speaking, the number of fetal movements in a normal fetus within 12 hours is greater than 10. If the number of fetal movements is too little or too much, pregnant mothers need to go to the hospital for examination.

Is the umbilical cord around the neck related to the sleeping position of pregnant women?

When it comes to umbilical cord around the neck, many pregnant mothers think that it is caused by their poor sleeping position.

So, is the umbilical cord around the neck related to sleeping position?

Umbilical cord will wrap around the neck in the mother's stomach, which is mainly related to amniotic fluid volume, fetal volume, umbilical cord length and fetal activity. When the amniotic fluid is excessive, the fetal volume is small, the umbilical cord is long and the fetal movement is frequent, the fetus is more likely to cause the umbilical cord to wrap around the neck.

In addition, the fetus in the womb is not just "being a good baby quietly". Once the fetus has the ability to exercise, in addition to sleeping, it is possible to roll around, turn around and even punch and kick in the mother's stomach. Because the uterus is so big and the umbilical cord is always with the baby, it is possible to move around yourself.

Therefore, the appearance of umbilical cord around the neck is actually not directly related to the sleeping position of pregnant women. Just for the sake of the baby, try not to cover your stomach when pregnant women sleep.

There are rumors among the people that the umbilical cord around the neck may be a boy. Is this statement correct?

The reason why there is a folk saying that the umbilical cord around the neck is a boy is mainly because many people think that male babies are generally more naughty than female babies and play too crazy in the womb of pregnant mothers, so they surround themselves.

In fact, the sex of the fetus has been determined since the formation of the fertilized egg. The fetus can only get the X chromosome from the mother, and if it gets the Y chromosome from the father, the embryo will grow into a boy. On the contrary, if I get the X chromosome from my father, my sister will have a girl.

In other words, whether the fetus has umbilical cord around the neck has little to do with the sex of the fetus itself. Generally, when the fetus grows in the mother's womb for 8- 10 weeks, if it is a male fetus, testicles begin to appear and androgen begins to secrete. You can check the gender through related tests.

How to prevent fetal umbilical cord from winding around the neck

Umbilical cord around the neck is a very common phenomenon. Most fetuses can turn themselves back in the back, but there are also a few fetuses who can't turn back, and even the more they turn over the umbilical cord, the more they wrap their necks.
