Patient's question:
In the morning, I was outside on the toilet for about 6-7 minutes. The stool was dry and hard, with some blood mixed in. Usually, the baby moves around 10 a.m., but this morning at that time there was no movement. I wonder if using the toilet this morning interfered with the baby's movement. Does prolonged squatting on the toilet interfere with the baby's movement?Doctor's answer:
Never interfere with the baby's fetal movement, as the time of movement is not fixed. If overexertion or prolonged squatting disrupts normal fetal movement, it is recommended to adjust emotions and observe carefully. If there is still no fetal movement by the afternoon, it is advisable to promptly visit the hospital for a fetal heart check. Pay attention to dietary regulation, and actively prevent constipation in daily life. Follow medical advice and drink more water. Constipation is a common phenomenon during pregnancy. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, as dragon fruit is particularly effective.
