What is the reason why a four-month-old baby is not moving in the stomach?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I want to ask that I'm about four months pregnant now, but my stomach hasn't grown at all. The prenatal screening said it's anterior wall of the uterus, but now I can't see any signs of pregnancy. Besides, the baby isn't moving inside either. What could be the reason? The other day, I felt uneasy and went to listen to the fetal heartbeat, which was 150 beats per minute, but my stomach is still flat.

Doctor's answer:

If you are a first-time mother, generally around the end of the fourth month of pregnancy, you will experience fetal movement again in the early fifth month. It is usually not until the fifth month that you can see your belly. You may just be a few days past the fourth month, as individual differences and nutrition also play a role. If the fetus is developing and growing well, there should be no problem. The above advice is for the question "Doctor, I want to ask if I'm around four months pregnant now," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
