Patient's question:
Problem Description: I am about 19 weeks pregnant. Around 6:00 AM yesterday, I suddenly felt like there were a lot of things in my vagina. By around 8:00 AM, I felt the baby move inside. Is this normal? I also noticed that the baby sometimes moves near the vaginal wall. Is this because the fetus is positioned relatively low? Thank you for your answer!Doctor's answer:
Generally, around the 16th week of pregnancy, the mother will start to feel fetal movement, which is normal. However, if the fetal movement is too weak, it may indicate that the fetus is experiencing oxygen deprivation in the womb. As for the sensation of vaginal expansion, it needs to be carefully evaluated to determine whether it suggests preterm labor signs or a feeling of heaviness and pressure. In most cases, doctors will recommend that women with risk factors for gestational gynecological diseases rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
