Question
Hello doctor,
I am 25 weeks pregnant, the baby kicks a lot in the uterus, the lower abdomen. So the doctor told me to ask the 25-week fetus, is it dangerous to kick a lot? Is there any problem with the cervix when the baby kicks so much, doctor? Please advise, thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Is it dangerous for a 25-week fetus to kick a lot? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Counting fetal movements daily is a biomarker for pregnant mothers to monitor their baby's health every day. Baby's circadian rhythm is sleep day, wake night. That means your baby will kick a lot at night, less during the day.
However, the baby will tend to kick a lot when the mother is hungry, taking stimulants or going to places with noisy sounds. The baby moves a lot, it will make the mother feel abdominal pain and discomfort, but it will not change the cervix or cause premature birth. If you have no history of preterm birth, and doctors screen you for the risk of preterm birth at 18-22 weeks' gestation by measuring the length of your cervix with a vaginal probe without abnormalities, you can rest assured. .
A healthy baby moves at least 8-10 times / 2 hours, so if your baby is kicking a lot, you can sit and rest, avoid noisy places, do not use stimulants such as tea, coffee snacks , drink milk, ... if hungry.
If you still have questions about the 25-week fetus kicking a lot, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
