Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Also, what does it mean when the fetus sometimes has a heartbeat-like movement?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fetal movement is usually felt around the fourth to fifth month of pregnancy, with no more than three movements per hour. If any abnormalities are detected, it is important to seek timely treatment. In the late stages of pregnancy, calcium supplements are commonly taken to prevent calcium deficiency in both the fetus and the mother.During the first three months of pregnancy, the uterus is more sensitive, and the attachment of the chorionic villi to the endometrium is not very firm. Sexual activity during this period can easily stimulate uterine contractions. Semen contains a rich amount of prostaglandins, which can cause the smooth muscles of the uterus and fallopian tubes to contract. If uterine contractions are frequent during this period, it may lead to difficulties in implantation of the blastocyst. Therefore, sexual intercourse during the first three months of pregnancy can result in the most severe consequences, including miscarriage and the termination of pregnancy.
