Questions & Answers

They do know what they are talking about, 24 weeks is not 6 months. I am 20 weeks 2 days, which is 4 months and 17 days. So 24 weeks would be about 5 months 1 week.

I am 24 weeks and I class myself as 5 months pregnant (not 6)... but thats off topic anyway! I have felt my baby since week 14 (and this is my first) so i would be a little concerned, especially since you haven't even had an ultrasound? seems a little strange to wait until 8 months, you're practically about to pop then so whats the point?
Definitely push for an ultrasound NOW to put your mind at ease.

OK, a little more... You are 5 months and change, I think. I believe that 6 months doesn't begin until your 28 weeks. Also, I didn't feel the baby strongly until about 22 weeks. I wasn't sure what I was feeling also. Sometimes you don't recognize it, especially if it is your first like me. Do you have "What to expect while you're expecting" It can be a very comforting read. Another good one is "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" which is more sarcastic and funny...also comforting. Luck and Prayers.

If I were you I would order her to write a slip to do an ultrasound. I've never heard of such a thing to wait that long! At the least I've seen ladies do 12 weeks, somewhere between 18 and 20 weeks, and then at the end. It would be important to know that the baby is growing the way it should in there! Be an advocate for you and your baby! Good luck honey!

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.
