Almost five months pregnant, but can't feel fetal movement, is it normal?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be possible that the fetus has stopped developing, and the fetus has died inside the uterine cavity. Common causes of stillbirth include umbilical cord abnormalities, fetal malformations, and maternal diseases leading to placental dysfunction and insufficient oxygen supply, resulting in fetal hypoxia and death. It is recommended to induce abortion as soon as possible to avoid causing maternal DIC.
