Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for 4 months now, and my stomach is slightly protruding. A few times, I felt the baby moving inside my belly, very gently. This feeling is very real and happy. My husband heard that the baby would move, so he crawled on my belly to listen and talked to the baby.What kind of help do I need: When do you usually feel fetal movement?
Doctor's answer:
Fetal movement refers to the action of the fetus moving within the uterine cavity, impacting the uterine wall. Fetal movement is an indicator of the fetus's well-being, and active fetal movement in the uterus indicates that the fetus is in good condition. Starting from the fifth month of pregnancy, the mother can clearly feel the fetus's movements. The fetus stretches, kicks, and impacts the uterine wall, which is what fetal movement is. The frequency, speed, and strength of fetal movement indicate the well-being of the fetus.
