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 being pregnant for 4 months, from the 5th month onwards, the mother can clearly feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches its arms and legs, kicks, and hits the uterine wall inside the uterus, which is called fetal movement. The frequency, speed, and strength of fetal movement indicate the well-being of the fetus. Currently, the triple screen test measures the concentration of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in the mother's blood, and combines 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.
