Mtoto kutocheza tumboni kwa wakati

Swali la Mteja:

“Habari Daktari, mke wangu ametimiza wiki ya 21 ya ujauzito akiwa na mtoto wa pili lakini bado hajahisi mtoto kucheza. Je, kuna tatizo?”

Majibu ya kitaalamu

Katika ujauzito wa pili, akina mama wengi huanza kuhisi mtoto kucheza mapema zaidi, kuanzia wiki ya 16 hadi 20. Hata hivyo, si wanawake wote hupata hisia hizi mapema. Kuna baadhi ya wajawazito wanaweza kuchelewa kuzihisi, hasa kama:

Placenta ipo mbele ya tumbo (anterior placenta), hali inayozuia hisia mapema.
Mama hajui vyema kutofautisha hisia za gesi tumboni na zile za mtoto kucheza.
Mtoto yupo hai na anasogea, lakini kwa nguvu ndogo zisizohisiwa kwa sasa.

Tahadhari muhimu

Iwapo mama amefikisha wiki 21 na hajahisi kabisa harakati za mtoto, ni vyema kufanya uchunguzi wa ultrasound ili kuhakikisha kuwa mtoto anakua vizuri, ana mapigo ya moyo ya kawaida, na yupo hai.

Ushauri

Usiwe na hofu mapema ikiwa hakuna dalili nyingine za hatari kama maumivu makali au kutoka damu.
Fanya ultrasound kwa daktari au mtaalamu wa afya kwa uhakika wa maendeleo ya mtoto.
