At 17 weeks, it is normal for a pregnant woman to not yet feel fetal movement. If you are concerned about abnormal development of the fetus in the uterus, you can go to the hospital and have the fetal heartbeat auscultated by a doctor. Fetal movement refers to a pregnant woman’s subjective sensation of the fetus’s activity in the uterus impacting on the uterine wall. At 17 weeks of pregnancy, the bottom of the uterus is still low, and the fetus is still small, so the strength and amplitude of the fetus’s activities in the uterus impacting the uterine wall are still relatively small; moreover, pregnant women with thicker belly fat are less sensitive to fetal movement, so it is normal not to feel fetal movement. Most pregnant women feel fetal movement at 18-20 weeks of gestation, and some pregnant women are relatively early. If you are worried about the abnormal development of the fetus in the uterus, you can go to the hospital in time. Fetal heartbeat can be heard at 17 weeks of pregnancy through a fetal heart stethoscope, and ultrasound can also be used to see fetal activity in the uterus and hear fetal heartbeat. Therefore, it is normal to feel no fetal movement at 17 weeks, if you are too worried, you can go to the hospital for relevant examinations to rule out abnormal development of the fetus.
