What's wrong with me?  I am getting so neverous and frustrated.  I want more!

When did you feel consistent movement?

When I started feeling movement (around 16-17 wks or so) it would only be every few days or so.  I would say that I haven't felt consistent movement everyday until just last week (the end of the week to now).  I know that's earlier than you, but i just wanted to share that it started out inconsistent and then eventually got more consistent.  Is it possible that you have an anterior placenta which would make feeling movement a little more difficult?

24 weeks I think or later.  Even after that I had my freakouts if I didn't feel the baby for a few hours - still get that. 

They don't expect you to do kick counts until 28 wks, so some don't feel movement every day until then.

I did not feel consistent movement at 21 weeks. I'm sorry I don't remember when it was more consistent, but it definitely was not at 21 weeks. It's so hard not to worry...even when you start to feel consistent movement you will worry if you don't feel movement for a while (like when they are sleeping!).

I had an appt. yesterday and my dr. said that I won't start feeling consistent movement until about 28 weeks.

I still have days where I don't feel a ton of movement.  Yesterday she moved ALL day and today she is much more quiet.  I have felt her today just not like I did yesterday.  I freaks me out and I poke and prod at her trying to get some movement and when I really get nervous I drink coke or eat something really sugary and lay down for about 30min. and I always feel her.
