Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How does fetal movement feel?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the fourth month of pregnancy, starting from the fifth month, the mother can clearly feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches its arms, kicks its legs, and hits the uterine wall; this is called fetal movement. The frequency, speed, and strength of fetal movement indicate the well-being of the fetus. Currently, the triple screen test involves analyzing the concentration of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in the mother's blood, combined with the mother's age, to use computer precision to calculate the risk of each pregnant woman carrying a fetus with Down syndrome. Therefore, from the perspective of eugenics, the triple screen test is necessary.
