Hi - have you heard the fetal heart beat, yet? It's your pregnancy and you can insist on an ultrasound. Don't let the Dr tell you - you can tell them what you want. I know they are the professionals, but you're the mom, you can tell them this and ask for am U/S. Good luck, honey.

Not necessarily by 3-4 months. I'm 20 weeks and I haven't felt the baby move yet (but I've also had 3 u/s so I know my baby is okay), my doctor said majority feel movement between 16-24 weeks (so even up to the 5th month can be considered normal) but you are well past that. Insist on an u/s or drive to another city and see another doctor. At 6 months you should be feeling regular movements.

Your doctor should have got you in for an ultrasound by now. Its something doctors worry about if you dont feel your baby . You should have felt the baby between 3-4 months

Defiantly tell the doctor you havent felt that baby yet! You probably need an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay...if you can try finding another dr even if you have to drive a ways to get to their office, its worth it to make sure u and baby are okay

Well it more or less depends on your body structure. But I would let your dr know you havent felt any movement
