Answer 1

Answer 8:

The correct option is D. Quickening.

Quickening refers to the moment when the woman begins to feel fetal movements in the uterus during her pregnancy. This helps or realizes the expectant mother that she is pregnant. This movement comes during the second trimester or 13 to 16 weeks from the beginning of her last period. It is the first sensation that usually feels like a fluttering or light tapping. This becomes a more consistent and stronger sensation in the coming period of pregnancy.

Option A is incorrect as lightening in the pregnancy refers to the lowering down of the baby at the end of the third trimester.

Option B is incorrect as ballottment is a method that was used to diagnose pregnancy in which the fetus is checked by pushing against the uterine wall.  

Option C is incorrect as pseudocyesis is a condition that shows signs of pregnancy but the woman is not pregnant. It is usually called phantom pregnancy.
