Am I silly to worry about lack of movement at this stage? - Page 2

deobi · Nov 24th, 2009, 11:10 AM

Although I too was feeling things around 16-17wks my dr was sure to re-inforce that it was ok not to feel anything until 24 wks and that movement may be sporatic. In those weeks I could go 2 days and not feel anything. My dr also said I don't need to track movements unitl 28wks which leads me to believe they could still be on and off unitl then.

If i haven't felt anything in a while it's almost like I have to forget about it becasue if I concentrate too hard, baby will be perfectly still for hours lol!!! relax as much as you can but if something feels wrong to you call the midwife - you wont be the first
