Brief Answer: Normal perception, ultrasound advised. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX Thank you for the question. Usually in first pregnancy the perception of baby movements start around 18 weeks and is felt like pulsations. In initial weeks baby moves the most it will decrease eventually as the pregnancy will advance due to lesser space for movement. Don't be anxious about it but definitely get an ultrasound done in case you haven't had one in past 4 weeks. I hope you got your other routine tests done especially Hemogram, blood sugar and urine routine examination. Hope that answers your question, please feel free to ask me if you have any doubts. Wish you the best of health. Take care.

Brief Answer: no urgent ultrasound needed Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX, there is no need to get an urgent ultrasound done. Scheduled date for ultrasound will be enough and necessary also because that is the best point when growth of the baby and proper body parts can be studied with precision. Just keep following your proper check up schedule set by your gynecologist and in between if you have any queries I will be happy to help. Take care.
