Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
After being pregnant for 4 months, from the fifth month onwards, the mother can clearly feel the baby's movements. The baby stretches, kicks, and hits the uterine wall in the uterus. This is called fetal movement. The frequency, speed, and strength of fetal movement indicate the baby's well-being. Normal, distinct fetal movements should not be less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the number of distinct fetal movements in 12 hours should be more than 30 to 40 times. However, due to the large individual differences in fetuses, some may move around 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and show little change, it proves that the baby is developing normally. If there are any abnormalities, it is important to go to the hospital for an early check-up.
