Why is fetal movement below the navel

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why is the fetal movement below the navel?

Doctor's answer:

At 4 months pregnant, if the fundal height has not yet reached above the navel, it is normal for fetal movement to be felt below the navel. A sensation of heaviness in the abdomen should be monitored for any accompanying symptoms such as hidden pain. Generally, heaviness is not felt at 4 months of pregnancy. It is usually not a problem and there is no need to worry. As long as there is no heavy bleeding, treatment is not required.
It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, supplement with multiple vitamins to enhance immunity, and recover quickly.
