Help needed: Want to know if the head of the 19-week fetus is down.
Doctor's answer:
Mostly yes, generally around the 19th week of pregnancy, most expectant mothers can feel fetal movements. The baby in the womb is like a little fish, swimming here and there, stretching its arms and legs. The expectant mother then feels her belly rise on one side and then the other. Because the fetus is still small and there is a relatively large amount of amniotic fluid, the baby's head is not fixed in any particular direction. Additionally, at 19 weeks, the expectant mother can start counting fetal movements. It is best to measure them once in the morning, once at noon, and once in the evening, counting continuously for one hour each time. When measuring fetal movements, it is best to lie on your left side, focus fully, and calmly observe the number of movements. If there are any abnormalities, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
