Sparatic/regular movements

skschnake · September 2015

As a FTM I just started feeling the baby move last week at 19 weeks. I just wanted to get opinions of other moms. Once you feel baby move is it sparatic movements every once on awhile or regular movements throughout the day. Thanks ladies!

Both with this pregnancy and the one with my son it was always sporadic. Usually, in the morning before I get out of bed and then later at night about 8-10pm. Sometimes maybe for a bit in the afternoon. It seemed to stay that way until the end with my son. Oh yeah, especially later on if I got up to pee in the middle of the night, usually 3am, it's like he would wake up and have a gymnastics competition for about an hour. Lol

Haha oh ok, I was just curious as to what to expect and watch out for. Sometimes it's a strong movement and other times it's like... Hmm, baby? Lol

With the first baby, I felt him move around 16 weeks but not all the time nor everyday. At 24 weeks I could feel him kick on the outsideand you start to get to know his mmovements like at what time of the day and for how long. He always kicked at 2am and once he was at home 2am is when he would non stop cry.

Ha yes, definitely sometimes it's really strong and sometimes it's much lighter. This last Friday night it was actually so strong I put my hand on my lower abdomen where I felt the movement and pushed in a little and could feel it with my hand. Hasn't been that strong since, though. So I guess all of it is sporadic, movement and strength lol.

It goes back and forth with this lo. Sometimes I can feel it on the outside and other times I have to pay attention to feel it. This lo loves the nighttime though...it's 10 pm and it wakes up and bounces all over the place and can even feel it in the middle of the night. Fun for now!

Sporadic! It happens more often when I'm sitting still. Even as baby grows you'll have doubts that the baby is moving enough. They sleep quite a lot in there!

Sporadic. Just like us, they have sleep and wake cycles. DD and now this LO were/are most active in the evenings, especially when I lay in bed to go to sleep.. Always fun to try to fall asleep as you're being kicked from the inside

Don't worry if you do not always feel baby, they need their rest while growing too.

I'll be 19w friday, and i think i feel baby.. when i do it's rare. Like maybe a little in the morning around 9-10, a little in the afternoon 2-3 and usually around 9-10 at night and that's it. And I'm still not even sure it's baby..

Thank you all for your answers. I just didnt know whether I should be concerned. It still may be alittle early to feel her all the time. Plus, like you all had mentioned she is probably sleeping a lot in there. Last week it was a hard movement and I put my hand on my abdomen and I could feel her from the outside. But it only happened once! She felt like she was playing soccer in there!
