Can the fetus be oxygen-deprived?

Patient's question:

I am already more than five months pregnant, but my stomach is not very noticeable at all. I have been worried that the baby might choke on water. I would like to ask if a fetus at five months pregnant can experience choking on water again? What kind of help is needed: Will a fetus at five months pregnant choke on water?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, generally around five months, if it is quite noticeable, you will start to feel the baby's movements again. Then you can count them yourself— is usually 3 to 5 times per hour, which is considered normal. If they are too frequent or the activity increases, it may indicate that the baby is choking. Of course, since every person's ovulation period is different, the baby's growth and development might be smaller, and the mother may not feel the movements. In this case, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for a detailed color ultrasound examination to check on the baby's growth and development.
