A Patient Who Is Pregnant Calls the Office with Concerns

A) "Pregnant women should feel fetal movement by 12 weeks gestation. You should go to the hospital."
B) "You should wait to feel movements and when you do you should time the movements."
C) "The fetus is still very small and sometimes movement is not felt until 20 weeks gestation."
D) "Sometimes when there are problems with fetal development you don't feel movements so early."
