Brief Answer:
Minor jerks do not affect the baby.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
At four months of gestation, minor jerks usually do not affect the baby. You need not worry if the jerk has not caused any abnormal vaginal discharge or any pain in the abdomen. The medicines that you have been prescribed are correct.
The only way to diagnose that the baby is fine is by ultrasound scans. After fifth month you will start feeling the baby movements gradually.
The danger signs for which you have to be careful are- vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, any abnormal vaginal discharge, etc.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
