I Am 17 Weeks Pregnant But Still Not Feeling Baby's Movement,taking Folic Acid And Livogen

Hi, I am 31/53 kg/159 and pregnant for 17 weeks and under folic acid and livogen. In my 16+ week time I went for check up and doctor ask me whether I feel the movements of the baby and since now I didnt. She ask me to note the date of the first movement I feel in my tummy. what might be the reason for it? my BP is 110/80. Is it normal? Again I have a scan on next week.

Hi, In case of first pregnancy foetal movement sensations are alittle delayed.You will start feeling the same within two weeks. Your BP is on the higher side.You need to to reduce your salt intake and also take medications with your Drs advice.Otherwise it may lead to complications.
Good Luck
