Question

In which month of gestation, the first movements of foetus and appearance of hair ion its head is observed?

• A. 8th month
• B. 1st month
• C. 4th month
• D. 5th month

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The first movements of the fetus, known as quickening, and the appearance of hair on its head are typically observed during the 5th month of gestation.

Around the 5th month of pregnancy, the fetus's musculoskeletal system develops sufficiently for it to start making noticeable movements. This is often described as fluttering or gentle flutters felt by the mother. Additionally, hair begins to grow on the fetus's head during this time.

Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 5th month.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Option 4: 5th month

Explanation:

During the 5th month of gestation, the following key developmental milestones occur:

The first movements of the fetus (also called quickening) can be felt by the mother.

Hair begins to appear on the fetus's head.

The fetus develops more distinct facial features and continues to grow in size.

The other options are incorrect because:

1st month (Option 2): The embryo is still in early stages of development, and organ formation begins.

4th month (Option 3): Some movements may start internally, but they are usually not strong enough for the mother to feel.

8th month (Option 1): By this time, the fetus is fully developed, with well-defined features and significant movement, but the first movements have already occurred earlier.

Thus, the first fetal movements and the appearance of hair on the head are observed in the 5th month of gestation.
