Hi there Gurus...

Sometimes baby's movement can be felt later, in the 20th week or so... Sometimes movements are mistaken of gas & not even felt by moms-to-be.

Don't worry, I am sure all is fine with you.

Take care & think positive.

Ani is right.Just wanted to add-it is not okay to take all sorts of medicine while you are pregnant.Please be cautious.

Right.Not all of them feel the movements until 20th week.

Did you consult with your doctor about the intake of medicines?Did she say to proceed with all the medicines,if so it is ok ,otherwise talk to your doctor.

Take care and relax and don't worry.

Gurus,
Just try not think too much about too many things...Try to be positive..
Even I am pregnant (15 weeks) and I spoke to my doc yesterday..She said most first time moms wont feel the baby until atleast 20 weeks sometimes not even until 22-24 weeks...So try to relax and not worry...When people ask you, just ignore them and say you will let then know when you actually feel anything or else just smile and keep quiet....I know it can be frustrating to face such questions...Even I faced 2 pregnancy losses but I am trying to be positive...Pray god and he will take care of everything..
And regarding the medicines you are taking, I hope they are prescried by your doctor and safe to take during pregnancy...
Just take it easy and be positive

Gurus,

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Don't worry about the movements. As others here have said, first time mothers may not feel the movements till 20 weeks or later. If you are still worried, why don't you drop in for a check up with your doc? I am sure your doc will be able to reassure you. Also as others have said, do not take excessive medication unless approved by your doc. Try to take small but frequent meals throughout the day to decrease acidity in the stomach. Also, try to ensure that your stomach is not empty - an empty stomach increases problems of acidity. Take care.

Regards,
Anitha
