Brief Answer: Urgent evaluation by a gynecologist advised Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX. Thanks for posting your query. I went through your query and understood your concerns. Absence of fetal movements can not be considered as a normal finding. At least 10 movements should be perceived per day. Please consult a gynecologist of your locality at the earliest possible. Get an ultrasound done for fetal well being. Please note that delay may affect the outcome so you should be proactive. Get one ultrasound scan done for well being of fetus & amount of liquor. Get your blood pressure & blood sugar checked, sometimes maternal hypoglycaemia or high blood pressure can be responsible for decreased movements. I hope this answers your query. In case you have any follow up queries or doubts, you can forward them for me, and I shall be glad to help you. Wishing you good health. Regards
