Is it possible to feel fetal movement at four months of pregnancy?

At four months of pregnancy, the fetus has already begun to move inside the mother's uterus.

Between the 16th and 25th weeks of pregnancy, most women will start to feel fetal movements, which usually occurs at the end of the fourth month or the beginning of the fifth month. Women experiencing their first pregnancy may feel the movements slightly later, as more noticeable and stronger movements may be required for them to perceive. The sensation of fetal movement varies among individuals, and there is no need to worry excessively if movements are not felt within the expected timeframe, as each fetus and each pregnant woman is unique.

Fetal movements at four months of pregnancy are usually mild, occurring about 3-5 times per hour, with no fewer than 10 movements in a 12-hour period. Because the fetus is still small, these movements may not be easily perceived by the mother, especially for first-time mothers who may feel them slightly later. However, women who have been pregnant before may detect the subtle movements earlier.

However, if a pregnant woman notices a sudden cessation of fetal movements she had previously felt, or experiences any unusual symptoms, she should contact her doctor immediately for evaluation to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby.
