Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 weeks pregnant with my third child, and I have not felt any movement or had any symptoms of pregnancy. I am wondering why I am not able to feel any movements.

Answered by Dr. Sameer Kumar

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Ideally, in multiple pregnancies, the baby movements are being perceived by 16 to 18 weeks. You may wait another week and then go for your antenatal visit and get an ultrasound scan done. You are already due for your anomaly scan between 18 to 20 weeks. That should answer all your concerns.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
