Just a quick question just wondered how often at my stage should I feel baby move.
Its just I have days when I have felt bubs quite a few times and then the next day I might not feel anything at all hardly, just wondered how normal this is?
Have a good weekend everyone

yes my baby is the same, somedays i will feel him/her others i want, but past few days i have felt baby move more when i lie down.

It is so reasuring when they move about isnt it.

i have my 20 week scan this week so that will let me know everything is fine, you must have your scan soon eh.

That's how it was for me at your stage. By 24 weeks and on I was feeling LO ALL THE TIME. I love feeling him but sometimes I wonder if he ever sleeps But when I was at your stage I wished he'd move as much as he does now.

Hi ya yeah it is very reassuring when they move about, especially as i'm the biggest worrier ever since I got pregnant.
I have my scan on thursday am so excited but slightly nervous, really want to find out the sex!
Whens your's? you finding out the sex?

Your baby is still quite small right now so you aren't going to feel every movement he/she makes. At this stage, it is very normal to not feel baby's movements consistently.

All babies are different. My son was bouncing around constantly in week 20 - 22, now I don't feel him as often as I did then, and he's a lazy little mite, he's usually asleep when I'm awake and vice versa. It all depends on his/her personality, sleeping habits, how BIG they are (he/she might not be kicking hard enough) and alot of other things. Hope it helps.

Oh you kiddin mine is on thursday also at 1.40, i also cant wait to find out the sex, but oh does'nt want to know?? dont know how i gonna keep that quite, i'll be shouting it from the roof tops.

Make sure you let me know what you are having and i will let you know.

anyway good luck and have a great scan.

speak soon.

yip thats 100% normal. only now at 25 / 26 weeks can i really guarantee to feel him on and off all day. and night, though last night he was very quiet and that worried me alittle...until I had breakfast and that soon woke him up!! I'm hoping he just likes to sleep all night - i'll be glad of that once he's actually here¨!!


usually he has a pattern : morning: very wriggly, afternoon: sleep Evening: wriggly night: on adn off wriggly, especially if I have a full bladder!

you'll work out your babys pattern soon enough x

Agree with the others. At your stage the movements I felt were very sporadic. I feel them more often now, but there are days when she's either having a lazy day or I'm too busy to notice that I hardly feel any movements.

Theres a count movement of 10 per day but thats not really to be paid attention to until into your 30th week - you'll send yourself mad for a start.

Also my MW said it might not always be 10 - more than 10 is bonus she also said you know your baby all babies get active at various time so if I notice baby always active when I lie in bed (which was true doh) then if I reconsie any difference then to maybe feel baby (they tend to move on your touch when they are bigger) but then again I had a doppler to ease my mind too.
