Are Lack Of Fetal Movements And Reduced Symptoms Of Pregnancy Cause For Concern?

Hi I am 17 weeks pregnant and have had 2 missed miscarriages before this pregnancy, both at around 7 weeks, for which I had to have a D and C. I had my 12 week scan and everything was good, the baby was moving a lot and the downs test results came back as 1 in 10,000 which is good. I feel like I have felt slight movement in the last 2 weeks and have also had tender breasts and spots since conception. In the last week these symptoms seem to have subsided and I am unsure I have felt movement. My stomach also does not seem to have changed too much in the last 2 weeks and I still do not look pregnant. Given the history I am anxious about this. I have a healthy 7 year old daughter with my husband and had no problems with this pregnancy.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.Not to worry about the baby movement at this stage.
2.Movement can only seen in the ultrasound scan at this stage, for you to feel it take about 7 weeks approximately. ( what you felt early was just a feeling)
3.You will start feeling pregnant with bulged out abdomen soon around 6-8weeks.
4.Stll have any concern get a ultrasound done and you will be in peace of mind.
5.hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
