Counting the number of pregnancies is a pregnant woman's first experience of the presence of another body that is developing day by day in her own body. Many women who are first-time mothers often worry more about the left side or the right side than good

1. What is Thai machine?

According to specialists, fetal movements are also known as mechanical fetuses. This is a sign when the fetus has movements such as turning, limbs or the whole body of the fetus has movements that the mother feels.
Doctors will base on fetal movements to monitor the health status of the fetus. When the number of pregnancies decreases, it is a warning sign that the health of the fetus is deteriorating. When the fetus is not mechanical or weak, it may be because the fetus is failing or the fetus is stillborn in the uterus.
Doctors say pregnant women will begin to feel fetal movements in the 20th week of pregnancy. Usually during this second trimester, fetal movements are usually irregular, but later on, they become more regular. The most active time is from the end of the 27th-32nd week.
At first, the pregnancy is just gentle movements, appearing a few times a day, the mother will feel like there is something stirring in her belly. In the last months of pregnancy, the frequency of pregnancy increases and the level is also stronger.
At 30 - 38 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of mechanical pregnancy will reach a maximum of 10 - 30 times within 12 hours. This is also one of the important criteria to assess the health status of the fetus.

However, there are many mothers who find that their fetus can only kick on the left but not on the right, some pregnant women see the opposite phenomenon.

2. Multi machine on the left side

When the mother is first aware of the mechanical pregnancy, the mother will see the baby moving all over the lower abdomen. Because the baby is still quite small at this time, he can freely move in the mother's womb.
But in the last months of pregnancy, when the size of the baby is larger, the uterine space is no longer spacious enough for the baby to stabilize by turning his head towards the mother's cervix.
When the baby's head is turned downward, the baby's bottom will be at the bottom of the uterus, and the back is usually on the right or left side of the uterus. If the back is on the right side, then the baby's limbs will turn to the left. Thus, the mother will feel that the baby's activity affects mainly the left abdomen, causing the left side of the fetus.

3. Move the machine on the right a lot

Similar to the case of the left-hand motor, with the right-hand pregnancy phenomenon, the simple explanation is:
If the baby's back is on the left side, the baby's legs and arms will be on the right. In this position, the baby will often use his hands and feet to push on the mother's belly, so the mother feels the baby's movement mostly on the right side.

4. Is the phone on the left a boy or a girl?

Usually, mothers will feel the feeling of pregnancy when the pregnancy turns 20. Sooner or later, it is still due to the mother having a baby or a baby. Currently, there is still no evidence to prove that the left fetus is a boy or a girl. However, if the mother feels the pregnancy sooner than the standard time, there is a high chance that she is carrying a boy. This is because the XX chromosomes of a girl are less active than the XY chromosomes of a boy. This is why it is always more difficult for a girl to struggle in the womb than a boy.
Besides, the strength of each pregnancy also tells the mother more clearly signs. Boys tend to move more vigorously and twist themselves more often than girls. Meanwhile, girls often have smooth and gentle movements. According to mothers shared, boys often like to launch a strong and sudden kick before moving around. In contrast, girls usually move slowly and most mothers can predict when the fetus is moving.
