Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What would be the normal heart rate of a three-month-old fetus?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the fetal heartbeat can be heard around the 20th week of pregnancy, which is a bit later than the onset of fetal movement. The normal fetal heart rate is relatively fast and strong, ranging from 120 to 160 beats per minute. During the second trimester of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate can reach over 160 beats per minute.Breast engorgement is not common during pregnancy, but breast development becomes quite noticeable. The alveoli (milk-producing glands) grow significantly, and some pregnant women may start producing colostrum from around the sixth month. Breast engorgement typically occurs 1-2 days after giving birth.
