I would recommend going to a private facility like storks or a local ultrasound tech. They can let you see and hear the heart beat. If that is out of your budget invest in a handheld Doppler to hear the heart beat. I listen to my babies every night just to have peace.

I agree with Irene. I wouldn’t go to the ER for that. Normally kicks aren’t felt til closer to 21-25 weeks for most women

If your only concern is not feeling moment yet I would absolutely recommend a private ultrasound. I’ve done several of my own and it has given me such peace of mind. I’m also anxiously waiting to feel movement but a private scan let me know I have an anterior placenta so I know I’m less likely to feel strong moments at this stage.

Sorry you’re feeling so anxious! Is this your first baby?

I would go to heybaby or something to get a peace of mind ultrasound. It’s way better than waiting in the ER. google 4d ultrasound near you and there may be places that offer 2d-4d ultra sounds so you can see and hear your babies heartbeat.

So I’m currently 21 weeks tomorrow and I didn’t feel anything up until I was in my 20th week, give it some time. You could have an anterior placenta which is why you might not feel anything or it could just be early. Don’t stress out; it’s not good for the baby or you.

Gotcha, just making sure you know what you’re looking for. I agree with a clinic over the ER but not sure your health insurance situation and your level of worries! It’s a personal decision but I have heard of people always being grateful they checked when they suspected something was off. Mama knows best
