What Causes Lack Of Fetal Movement During 24 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
my daughter just had an ultrasound is 24 weeks pregnant and the ultrasound tech was concerned because the babes was in the same position it was in during the previous ultrasound.....head down and not moving much. The tech tried to stimulate babes but still didn t move much. Verbalized concerns to my daughter about talking to a baby doctor due to the fact the baby should be moving around more in the womb. When my daughter called her PA-C they said the measurements of the baby were fine. Is there anything to worry about. Not sure if she is getting the US done same time each time........

Hi, I understand your concern. Baby starts moving from 5th month of pregnancy it may be felt by mother in 6th month. Does your daughter feel baby movements? If it's her 1st child bearing she may take a bit long. Baby need not keep moving in uterus at the time of USG. What is important is fetal heart sounds- If they are normal please don't worry.Please follow FHS record by your midwife/ keep on observing fetal movements / Consult your treating doctor &repeat USG abdomen in case your doctor advises. Thanks.
