20-25 weekers - how long does your fetal movement last?

just_peachy

I swear my baby is doing an exercise routine in the morning while I lay in bed.

It lasts about 20 minutes or so.

Then when I'm sitting still during the day he'll wake up and do stretches that last about a half hour here and there.

I'd say 10-15 minutes. It's not constant the entire time. He'll kick a few times in a row, take a couple minute break, and then do it again. It usually happens after I eat.

I haven't timed it, but that sounds about right!

I haven't noticed a pattern yet, but since about 19 weeks I've felt a lot of movement at different times during the day. I would say it last from 15-30 minutes. Sometimes the movement is faint and sometimes it's like the baby is doing some sort of flips in there!

I still don't really feel anything. A few times it felt like a tickle in my belly, but that's it. I'm not even sure what to expect to feel when she really starts moving.

It's kind of all over the place. Sometimes I just feel a couple things here and there and the other times it seems like he's doing a kick boxing exercise.

It ranges from about 10-40 minutes, although I do get a random bump every now and then, too.

Hmmmm, a long time.  I have never really timed him, but from about 8-noon, he is really active.

Just a couple minutes. I think shes lazy like her mama.

After I eat about 5 mins.  When DH is talking to my LO or kissing my belly 10 mins...Right now...on and off 10 mins..just had some ice cream yummy!

Anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes...usually after eating and at bedtime.  I guess I just notice it more when I'm lying still, but I definitely feel her flipping around even when I'm up and moving.

I know she is really active and moving a lot, but I don't feel her as much. especially the last couple of days

Usually she'd be active in the morning when I wake up for about 5 min, then right before lunch for another 5 or so minutes and then at night, right before bed, for about 10 min.

I wish I could feel her more!

I haven't noticed any specific patterns.  What my OB told me about movement is that just because you don't feel it doesn't mean it's not happening.  He said that when you are resting and don't have other things going on,  you will feel it more so that if you are working or busy running errands or something to that nature.  He said not to worry at this point about keeping track of baby movement.  He did tell me, though, that when baby naps, it's probably at like 45 minute intervals.

It varies.  At night the baby is the most active, and sometimes I think its about a half hour of dancing or something!

I definitely started feeling her around 19 weeks. I feel her move throughout the day and only when I'm sitting at my desk, not really when I'm moving around. She'll start moving after I take a walk and sit down.  I've felt some strong 'kicks' twice. The first time I was so suprised. The next time was last Sunday and she did it like 8 times that DH was able to feel her through my tummy.  I love it!!!!!!
