Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 32 weeks of pregnancy, it's common to monitor fetal movements, and a short period without perceived movement can sometimes be addressed by ensuring the mother has eaten (to potentially increase fetal activity) and then rests while focusing on counting kicks or movements. If there's still concern after this, further medical advice should be sought. Immediate emergency action or waiting until the next day without further attempts to assess fetal well-being might not be the most appropriate first steps.
