Hello, I’ve had one visit with my doctor and I have a ultrasound coming up on the 7th, but yesterday and all of today I haven’t felt my baby move at all, I usually feel him/her all day but today and yesterday I just haven’t. I’m 19 weeks. Should I be worried? I started feeling him/her like middle of week 17
Hello,Usually, fetal movements are felt at around 22 weeks in case of women having pregnancy for the first time. Second pregnancy onward, fetal movements are felt after 18 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Please relax and lie down and try to feel for baby's movement. Sometime in the hectic schedule of days’ work, baby movements may not be noticed.If you were really feeling the baby movements or heartbeat or pulsations of great blood vessels in the abdomen, needs to be confirmed.I will suggest you to visit your treating doctor and get baby's heartbeat checked on Doppler machine on OPD basis. In case of any doubt USG (Ultrasonography) will be of help.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
