Patient's question:
At 25 weeks pregnant, I feel my stomach is a bit sour and bloated! I don't know what's going on, unsure if it's because the baby has grown or if he's uncomfortable. I previously had the umbilical cord, and yesterday the fetal heart rate was 145, but recently I feel the baby isn't moving as much as before. My stomach also feels uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Your current condition is in the mid-stage of pregnancy, and this period is also when the baby grows and develops the fastest. As the continuously shrinking uterus exerts pressure on your abdomen and pelvic area, it may cause the discomfort symptoms you are experiencing now. This is a common occurrence during pregnancy and poses no harm to the baby.It is recommended to pay attention to regular and thorough prenatal check-ups, especially monitoring the fetal heart rate using Doppler. As long as the prenatal check-ups show no abnormalities, there is no significant issue. Rest appropriately, avoid excessive exercise, and prevent overexertion or strenuous activity.
