Frequent fetal movements at 7 months of pregnancy may be abnormal. If fetal movements become unusually frequent at this stage, it could indicate fetal hypoxia; conversely, in late pregnancy, fetal movements typically decrease. It is recommended to visit a reputable local hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology department for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. During pregnancy, ensure adequate rest, avoid strenuous physical activity, and prevent excessive fatigue.
