Should I be concerned that my baby wasn’t that active on ultrasound?

Question

So I’m 16 weeks and yesterday when I did my ultrasound I thought my baby was going to be moving around kicking her legs or sucking her thumb as the usual but she was just laying there still not moving looking all comfortable. I was concerned at first but my ob found a heartbeat which was at 140 she wasn’t really concerned I guess she was just sleeping and didn’t wanna move for me? I’m a first time mom so I already get worried a lot

Answer

If ultrasound person wasn’t worried then don’t worry to much , if your really worried then ask to get another scan

Nah don't worry! That little babies sleep almost all the time!

Answer

Perfectly fine. My son slept through his 12 week ultrasound, he was upside down and looked so weird lol. He did not want to wake up either, the tech couldn’t measure him upside down so I had to do gymnastics to get him to move. He’s 2 now and sleeping is still one of his favorite things to do.

Answer

Perfectly fine! My son barely moved with his ultrasounds. He literally moved once for less than a minute then flipped back. I didn't even get to see it because he was so stubborn I had to face away from the screen. My daughter on the other hand was non stop get first scan the tech couldn't get everything and we had to go back..3 times. The other times she was so comfy tucked up in my spine that they couldn't get this image or that image. 140 is a good heartbeat too.
