17 weeks no movements.

Hi mummies! Could you help an overthinking mommy here! I am expecting my 3rd baby & just had my appt last week. However, doctor only checked for the heartbeat using the machine & I lowkey felt like it’s the sound of my heart beating. I do not feel any kicks, movements. Only feel that my baby is low lying, & with frequent toilet visits. I’m 17w 4 days now. Should i visit the emergency o&g, or am I just being paranoid 😢 #Needadvice #pregnancy

I’d recommend to go to JB to go for an ultrasound scan. The one that i always go to is at JB, Adda Heights. Clinic’s name is ‘Klinik Hana’. Doctors are very nice & friendly, they really take their time to check your baby & the best thing is that you can walk-in, & it’s only 70rm (ard sgd 23). It really helps me in terms of easing my mind (I understand that preg mommies are always anxious & i’ve went to urgent o&g before and it costs alottttt). To spend $23 to have an ultrasound scan I feel is so much better 😋

Anddddddd you can record videos when they scanning/ take photos!!

for me, baby movement is not always detectable until end of 2tri like 24 weeks onwards. I think this is very subjective to your BB size and your body size allowing your baby to move around. don't have to worry about movements. but if you are worried perhaps a private gynae clinic near your house might be more convenient then to go kkh O&G cos it will cost around the same but probably lesser wait and distance

Helllo there, different mummies will encounter at different weeks for kick/movement. Some may be early, some may be later. Usually will be 5-6months. KKH will use alternate machine and scan for every appointment. Follow your gut feeling, go emergency to have it check to double confirm. My 1st pregnancy was stillbirth with no movement at last stage years ago. And now, alhamdulilah a lil one is here ☺️

Is there anything that you can do that can probably get the baby to react? Mine is if we go out for a drive. For me i have like a day or two with no movements. Maybe have but very little. Im currently 18 weeks 5 days.

17 weeks is still kinda early to feel movement perhaps? I felt mine at only 19 weeks. But if you're worried, can head to a private gynae for a scan.

Not really..I've only been to 1 private gynae which I didn't think is very good. I've always gone for public ones otherwise. But in any case, if what u need is just a check and a scan, most gynaes should be ok! Call in to make sure they have the ultrasound machine to scan first.

gynae should b able to tell but if u r concerned, just go for a scan :)

Just go for a peace of mind!
