HELP MEWere your "Flutters" or "quickening" few and far between at 17 weeks pregnant? - Page 2

I wouldnt worry as baby has probably changed to a different position and is kicking where you cant feel it. although i wasnt feeling anything at 17 weeks i was feeling on off movements from 19/20 weeks. I remember at my 20 week scan she was wriggling round like crazy and i couldnt feel a thing lol. wont be long before you are begging for you babs to stop kicking you in the bladder lol. Call your midwife if you are worried and i am sure she will put your mind at ease :-)

I felt a somersault at 16 weeks and then nothing until 20 weeks, even then it was only a few times a day right up until 26 weeks

Hey don't worry. I never felt the flutters everyone talks about. Mine felt like wind shifting around from about 16 weeks and was only very occasionally. Didn't properly kick in until I was a couple of weeks further on. You'll be fine!

I felt little movements at 17 weeks for three or four days in a row, then nothing for a week. I was worried of course, but then it started up again at 18 weeks and has been consistent from then on, although it was still not every single day at first. As the other girls have said, the baby can move around so much when they are that small that it is not possible to feel them all the time, it doesn't mean they are not moving though.

i started to feel tegan at around 14 weeks, but would go for days without feeling anything

it was the same all the way through right up until the end with her movements

i have a very lazy and contented 2 week old at the moment, so maybe that's what you're growing too
