Not felt any flutters in a while...

shockd&amazed · Jul 20th, 2008, 08:23 AM

Hi all how is everyone?
I'm just wondering if this is 'normal' for around 19 weeks or so... most days at the same time I feel some fluttering which puts my mind at rest that bean is ok.
yesterday I had a really really busy day where was walking loads, rushing about and generally didn't put my feet up for about 10 hours and didn't feel bean - probably because I was so busy?
But since I've not felt him at all, even today sitting still... Am really paranoid something's happened!!

I heard that us moving about rocks the baby to sleep which is why most pregnant women feel movement in the night!

It is much harder to feel movements when you're moving about hun, so please try not to worry. Also, it's quite early to feel bubs regularly at this stage, even if you have been feeling them eveyday. Bubs may have just moved into another position which makes it more difficult to feel them, or maybe they're just having a lazy day. If you are really worried then why not give your midwife a call, if only to put your mind at ease?

I still have days when I don't feel much. Try not to worry, but if you are and the worry is making you ill, contact your MW. Thats what they're paid for. Keep us updated!!!

Hi shocked&amazed,

I wouldn't worry too much hun, some flutters are real subtle... plus if bubs has turned around, he/she may be kicking towards your inside, so you wouldn't feel that.

But always good to contact MW just to reassure yourself, if she has a doppler handy a heartbeat sound can do wonders for the nerves!

they definitely have days when you don't or hardly feel them. I freaked out at 19 weeks and still do now if I haven't felt much. I really think its babys position, yours has prob flipped over or facing in so you can't feel kicks. They do have quieter days, growing usually!! Try not to worry, I know its hard. You'll feel babs again soon when you're having a rest.
