Movement

Hi
i'm probabaly being stupid but getting worried about movement of baby.

I'm 17 an half weeks, felt bubbling/popping about 3 weeks ago and then what im sure was movement 2 nights on the run last week but haven't felt anything at all since, is this normal???

I felt flutterings at 17 weeks but I've not felt anything since. I don't know if this is unusual, but just wanted to let you know that it's happened to me too. I have a doppler so I know that the baby is still in there!

I seriously never knew any of this stuff (noticing movements and their frequencey) during my first pregnancy and I'm glad I didn't! I know it's good to be in tune with our little ones and take note of any changes, but at the same time, I can't help but think a little ignorance is bliss as there just seems to be so much variety from day to day as the little one grows, I think we could drive ourselves bananas with it!

Ive not felt anything really for the last week or so after thinking i felt baby kick (thinking now maybe it was something else?) But im not worried, theres plenty of ladies on here that didnt feel anything till after 20 weeks.

im sure all is fine, the babys tiny, lots of space in there still! maybe the baby decides to wriggle about when you are sleeping? x

I think I felt baby a couple of weeks back (fluttering/popping) but haven't felt anything since. Desperate for my scan on Fri just for the reassurance. My sis didn't feel anything with her first baby til she was 22 wks so I'm trying not to overthink things

Theres no point worrying about movement until about 23-24 weeks! Especially if its your first! Im 20 weeks and not even felt a thing

Don't worry, your bubs is still very small and could have turned and moved somewhere you can't easily track him or her. They say to pay attention to moves from 28 weeks (i.e. should be minimum 10 in 2 hours).

Thanks i know you're all right, my mind's just doing overtime as it's first pregnancy. Got app with midwife on 16th and anomaly scan on 27th i'm sure i'll relax abit more after those x x x

I have had the same. I am just over 18 weeks and have been feeling movements from about week 15 (this is my 3rd baby).

I noticed that the movements seemed to have disapeared almost but in the last few days I have had some and they feel more like kicks and the baby turning now

Someone suggested to me that the baby may have moved possition and this sometimes makes the movements less noticeable. Baby may also be having a growing spurt so saving its energy for growth instead of movement.

If you are still concerned check with your midwife just to put your mind at rest.

Hope this helps,
