QUESTION

Fremitus is felt at?

OPTIONS

(A) 30-60 days of pregnancy
(B) 60-70 days of pregnancy
(C) 80-120 days of pregnancy
(D) 30-40 days of pregnancy

ANSWER

(C) 80-120 days of pregnancy

EXPLANATION

Fremitus can become palpable in the bovine middle uterine artery at approximately 80 to 120 days of pregnancy as uterine blood flow increases. It is a vibratory vascular sensation rather than a direct fetal movement. The intervals of 30 to 40, 30 to 60, and 60 to 70 days are generally too early for dependable detection of this sign.
