Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How many times is it normal for the baby to move per day in the fifth month of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally, fetal movement can be felt between 15 and 20 weeks, reaching its peak between 28 and 32 weeks, and then gradually decreasing after 38 weeks. Pregnant women should start counting fetal movements from 28 weeks of pregnancy. Measure once in the morning, afternoon, and evening each day, with each measurement lasting 1 hour. The pregnant woman can sit or lie on her side, placing her hands lightly on her abdomen to feel the movements. Normal fetal movement is 3 to 5 times per hour. Alternatively, multiply the number of movements counted in three measurements by 4 to equal the number of movements in 12 hours, which should be 30 or more. An increase or decrease in fetal movement suggests that there may be an abnormal condition with the fetus, and medical attention should be sought promptly.
