Is Your Baby Moving Less? What a Pregnant Mum Should Know

In this video, Dr. Aria Raina, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Cloudnine Hospital, Kailash Colony, New Delhi, explains how babies “talk” to their mothers through movements - from gentle flutters to strong kicks. Fetal movements usually begin around 18–22 weeks, and by the third trimester, every baby develops their own unique pattern. Noticing when this pattern changes is crucial, as reduced movements can sometimes signal distress or reduced oxygen supply. Trusting your instincts and acting quickly can make all the difference.
