What are the reasons for reduced fetal movement at 29 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, what could be the reason for reduced fetal movement at 29 weeks of pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Late pregnancy fetal movement is not as obvious as in the second trimester, which is a normal condition. Normal obvious fetal movement should be at least 3 to 5 times per hour, and the number of obvious fetal movements in 12 hours should be more than 30 to 40 times. However, due to the individual differences in fetuses, some fetuses may move around 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movement is regular, rhythmic, and does not change significantly, it proves that the fetal development is normal.
