Still haven't felt baby move - Page 2

Dont worry sweety...I know its a hard ask!

But the girls are right! No two pregys are the same and if bubs implanted its self to the front of your uterus then you probably wont feel much until around 22 weeks! Mine has done that! My placenter is anterior (forward) so Im not feeling my lil one kick as much either...Although I do tend to feel dancing on my blader!

Which isnt nice when Im putting off going to the loo!

Take care sweets...and if you really have big worries, ring your MW dont just wait for the appt! They dont mind answering questions etc...

I haven't felt mine yet, although i'm a couple of weeks behind you. My sonographer did say that my placenta in on the front though and that will restrict how much I feel the baby. I'm not that bothered, but so long as i get to feel it once, that would be nice! They are also playing around with my dates lots (even though my dates should be the correct ones as i knew the date of my last period, date of ovulation and date we bd'd!) so it could be a number of things.

don't worry - it'll move when it feels like it x

You can buy dopplers in boots and mothercare and I think they cost around £30. I'd give the midwife a call if you are concerned.xx

You will probably start to feel it moving soon but if you are genuinely worried call the midwife

I'm sure your LO is fine just being lazy. You'll be wondering why you were ever worried when he/she starts to move around and never seems to stop, you may even find yourself wishing he/she would calm down a bit

Yeah hopefully your right, i left a message with the midwifes office shes going to call me back, maybe they could listen to the heart beat just to put my mind at rest as i havent actually seen a midwife since my booking in appointment at 9 weeks x

I've just hired a doppler for 9.99. Is a monthly hire rate i'll only probably need it for one month sent it back when i start feeling movements. Least it will put my mind at rest. Cheers girls x
