Somewhere in the third week of pregnancy , your unborn baby begins to contract a heart, and after eight weeks, the nervous system gradually forms. 2 weeks after this, the baby may already irritate something, because the surface of his skin becomes sensitive. At the same time, his motor activity begins to appear . Of course, at this stage, his movements are unconscious and not coordinated. It is clear that the mother still can not feel the fetal movement. The baby is still too small, and only occasionally touches the walls of the uterus. It is absolutely imperceptible, and any vibration from these touches is absorbed by amniotic fluid.
At the end of the fourth month of pregnancy - from the sixteenth week - the baby begins to respond to sounds. Hearing Mom’s voice or pleasant music, it can freeze, and from harsh sounds and noise it can be frightened. The child perfectly feels the emotional environment around, so he is always worried or rejoices with his mother. The movement of the fetus is now more coordinated.
When the baby is older by another week, he can already squint, a little later - at the eighteenth week - he clenches his fists, touches his face, can try to close it with his hands, if he is afraid or tries to hide from the bright light. From now on, the expectant mother will feel the entire pregnancy, the fetal movement. It is becoming more active.
By the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, the baby begins to realize that by making certain movements, he can control the degree and intensity of the influence of factors from the external environment. Starting from the wall of the uterus and hiding deep into the mother’s tummy, the baby reduces the unpleasant effect of a loud sound, covering his face with handles, he protects himself from the effects of bright light.
Now, it is very important for a future mother to maintain the correct development of the baby's brain. To do this, you need to not only constantly monitor the diet and strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations, but also lead an exceptionally healthy lifestyle so that only the best and most valuable things come from the mother’s blood to the baby. Now the main task of the child is to develop, and the task of his mother is to provide and support this process as much as possible. If there is oxygen starvation, the baby can stimulate the placenta with intense movements, while the bleeding in the uterus is activated, and an additional portion of oxygen and nutrients will be delivered to the baby.
The first stirring of the child will be timid and cautious, but very soon his physical activity will increase significantly, gain meaningfulness and perseverance. You will notice that the baby is increasingly opposed to lying on your back, because because of this position one of the largest vessels of the body is squeezed - a vena cava. The child begins to actively push, so that you lay down more comfortably.
At the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy, fetal movement becomes as pronounced as the movement of a newborn baby can be. Sometimes women even complain of pain from tremors. You can reduce discomfort, perhaps by a little studying the nature of the child. As much as possible, try to adapt to the mode of the baby, and then he will not express his protest so intensively. He will gently turn over and sometimes expose a leg or handle that touches mother so much.
At the end of the third trimester, closer to childbirth, a woman feels during the day 20-60 tremors, different in strength and intensity. Now you can easily understand the daily routine of the baby.
All women in their own way describe their feelings and sensations during the first movements of the child. Someone will say that they resemble the flutter of butterflies, some say that the movements are similar to the splashing of fish in an aquarium, and someone may first think that intestinal motility is to blame for the new sensations . When the baby’s movements become frequent, confident and quite noticeable, the woman perceives the life that has arisen inside inside as her own little man, with whom she will always be next.
