Pregnancy Info HOME

Belly, I first felt movement at 16w1d, then nothing until 17w2d (and it was A LOT of movement for most of the day), so I figured okay, the baby's gonna move a lot now. The next day, it was a tap here and there, mostly when I lie down. I am now 18w6d and I feel movement everyday, but mostly at 9:30 at night when I am lying down for bed. So basically, mine has been very inconsistent and it has been very frustrating for this momma. This is my fourth, so I am comparing it to all my other pregnancies where my babies were beating my uterus walls like crazy by now. Try to drink something cold, or some juice and lie very still on your back (briefly :-) ) and I bet you will feel something. Sometimes I find it helps if I can't feel anything at first I roll to my side and then back to my back and I'll feel a nudge, then another, then another! GL!!!

Yeah I wouldn't worry. I am 28 weeks now and this is my first pregnancy. The first time I felt anything was around 18 weeks and it was just a little flutter, almost like gas bubbles. Then I felt nothing until 21 weeks. I was terrified, especially since preggo minds like to wander and imagine the worst possible thing. But my doc said it was totally normal and my little guys movements probably wouldn't be consistent until about 24 weeks, which is exactly how it all worked out. You have plenty of time to worry about not feeling movement as you get further along, so try not to get too freaked out by it.

Thanks ladies - i am becoming a real stress head - trying very hard not too!!! I will try the cold water and stuff tonight and hopefully I feel flutters!!!! :) Thank goodness I have my scan coming up on Thursday or I would drive myself crazy with worry haha! Hope everyone is going well!
