Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well.
Well last week I thought i'd started to feel my LO move, but have had nothing definite this week at all!!! Maybe a few little tickles but not sure if this was baby or not!!!
The past couple of days my preg symptoms seem to have lessened eg sickness and sore boobs!
Should I be worried or is this just because of the stage of prganancy i'm at??
When is it we should start to monitor the LO's movements.
Sorry I just seem to worry about everything.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this???
Thanks

Hi, I had the same thing at about 17 18 weeks. Had felt baby move and then went for about a week with nothing. Had doctor check it out but all was fine. Its still really small at this stage and if its moved postition you may not feel it as well. If you are worried call your midwife or doc to get it checked but im sure its fine! xx

You should start counting kicks at 28 weeks, before then movements are pretty sporadic. I'm sure your lo is just fine....just small enough still that you are not feeling all of the movements yet. You will soon.

Hi
I understand your worries this whole pregnancy has turned me into a body of worry
I havent been feeling sick since about 10 weeks and then it just stopped suddenly, I was really worried till I went for my 12 week scan and everything was fine now I am 14 weeks and feeling so good. Everyone is just different.
I have a few friends who have just had babies and they said they didint feel any movements till about 20 weeks so again everyone is different. I have learnt something through this pregnancy no matter what we will always be worrying about something.

Hiya,
Unfortunately, everyone has a completely different pregnancy experience... and in turn, you shouldn't compare yourself to what everyone else felt at such-and-such a week... that does only cause worry
Movements are felt at different times for everyone.... generally, the more pregnancies you've had, the earlier you'll tend to feel babe... however, things like where the placenta is.. how babe is positioned etc will affect how much you feel them
It's not til later on in the pregnanct that you'll be asked to monitor babes movements.. and to expect 10 individual movements a day..
It's fantastic when you start to feel them flutter about... makes it even more real
