I really want to tell this person to STFU

ludicrous

She has posted for T&P on multiple boards for decreased fetal movement at 23 weeks.  Dude, it is normal.  If you really feel like you need to go get checked out fine but to AW all over the place about how you may have a problem is just asking for bad juju.

It is kind of like the ladies on 1st tri who get all upset b/c they don't get an u/s until week 20. I want to be like, you are having a normal pregnancy, be happy about that, and be happy that you don't need a trillion tests and u/s throughout your pregnancy.

I don't get this at all. I didn't know an ultra sound was an option (I use the term loosely) until 20 ish weeks. I mean, unless you were huge high risk or something. I keep reading about how some women demand them... I don't think I've ever demanded anything from my doctor. It wouldn't occur to me to do that.

its really not an option unless you are high risk, at least that was my understanding from my doc. I was high risk with both my kids so I had u/s and blood tests all the time. But normally you dont have your first u/s untill week 20. And if that u/s looks good then you wont have another one until the end of 3rd tri.

I guess if you demand an u/s they will give one to you, but idk why you would straight up demand one.

And I totally agree with the bolded part.

ludicrous

Add to that the people that insist they are high risk when they aren't like there is some sort of prize for being high risk.

It really does depend on the doc. I had three of them before the NT scan w/ my first pregnancy - so long before we knew there would be issues. So I would have gone into another pregnancy thinking that was normal, just based on that experience.

Obviously, w/ this pregnancy I had many scans (over twenty of them starting in the fourth week, to make sure the pregnancy was in the right place), but I was classified as high risk.
