This could be caused by fetal hypoxia. It is advisable to visit a hospital for a more comprehensive examination; the results will clarify the specific situation. If fetal hypoxia is confirmed, oxygen therapy at a reputable hospital is recommended—preferably multiple sessions. During the mid-to-late stages of pregnancy, close monitoring of the fetus is essential. Should any discomfort arise, seek prompt medical attention for a thorough evaluation.
