9w 5d ultrascan

Hi Mummies! I had my first ultrascan at 9 weeks 5 days today. As normal, I was able to see my tiny baby together with a heartbeat❤️ but what concern me is that, my baby doesn’t seem to be moving. For example, i didn’t see my baby moving his/her little legs or arms. As i see that other patients tend to have an active baby who atleast move abit. I was worried cuz the doctor that I went for to check is not so verbal- to tell me if the baby is okay or the heartbeat was at a normal rate, I even had to ask myself if the heartbeat was normal. Is this because my baby is sleeping while he/she was being scanned? #pleasehelp

hi fellow mommy, since baby has a normal heartbeat you can be assured that he/she is okay. it is possible for babies to be asleep in the womb, hence not much movement. usually, I eat breakfast before going to my scans and I can see baby moving. When I went for my Oscar scan, the baby was initially moving alot then towards the end, baby kinda calm down a little and the sonographer mentioned that the baby is falling asleep. lol.
