Baby Movements

The baby continues to move constantly, even though the space in the uterus is increasingly tight. It is possible in ultrasound to watch the little one touching his own face, sucking his fingers and even holding his feet and this is part of his motor development and self-knowledge. He swallows the amniotic fluid and you can see the accumulation of that fluid in the small bladder.

At this stage it is also possible to stimulate your movements and taste for sounds. Many babies respond through kicks and movements when they hear some voices or recognize a sound, or even show that they are uncomfortable with a song for example. Of course, it is impossible to discover the baby’s discontent or joy over sounds, but we know that he responds promptly to these stimuli.

My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
