Am I just freaking out or should I worry?

I'm 17 weeks and I haven't felt my baby move all day. 2 days a go I could feel the baby once in a while but we're faint movements and now nothing?! Should I worry? Oh and this is my 2nd baby so I know the difference between gas n baby moving.

    I wouldn't worry the baby could be kicking to the back so you can't feel it. The baby could be extra tired today. 17 weeks is to early to have regular kicks.

    I'm also on my second and I'm 22 weeks and just now feel her everyday. Before this week it was sporadic at best. I have an anterior placenta and it makes it harder to feel. So to answer your question, no you shouldn't worry. Baby has lots of room still and could be turned facing your back. No worries

    Yup no worries and totally normal.  If you're really worried drink some juice and lie down for a few minutes.  That always wakes my LO up.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    I'm 17 weeks as well and LO has totally left me hanging today.

    No worries. I know he/she will be back soon, especially if you have a mover and a shaker like me (last u/s was nothing but chasing LO around the screen!).

    My midwife said once a day is all you can expect at this stage, and if you're not paying attention you might miss it! So yup - normal!

    I am just like you! Now at nearly 21 weeks I'm feeling her a lot more often, but a couple weeks ago it was as seldom as you're describing. Just hang tight I promise xoxo

    My doc said once a day is normal at this stage. I'm 20 weeks but have been feeling him off & on for a few weeks. It's such a weird thing for me cause my first one my placenta was in front so I don't remember feeling him a ton & it didn't bother me. This one is so active already, that when he isn't it's already freaking me out!
