Patient's question:
I am six months pregnant. I have been experiencing fetal movement all along, but I don't know what's going on online. I want to think about it. Can fetal demise occur at six months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Women who experience sudden disappearance of fetal movement during pregnancy should promptly go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. This may be due to potential fetal distress or fetal intrauterine demise. Fetal distress can be promptly corrected, and the supply of oxygen to the fetus can be stabilized, with most cases being alleviated. This is generally related to whether the pregnant woman has any concurrent pregnancy complications, whether there are abnormalities in the function of the placenta and umbilical cord, and whether there are abnormalities in the growth and development of the fetus itself.
