Fetal movement

Fetal movement refers to the active movement of the fetus in the mother's uterus, such as breathing, mouth opening, and rolling movements. By the 8th week of pregnancy, the baby is beginning to take on a human form and the limbs have grown. At this time, the fetus will move in the abdomen. If the passive movement caused by the mother's cough, breathing and other movements, it is not considered fetal movement. The number of fetal movements, the speed of the fetus, and the like indicate the safety of the fetus.
