Flutters, then no flutters-Not even sure it's baby! Thoughts?

ecjun09

Just wondering for those who have felt the flutters, did you have a few days where you went without feeling any at all? I had a very fluttery day on Th and haven't felt anything since.

I feel like it's also a little early for me to be feeling anything so I am not 100% convinced I am feeling the baby, but the feeling is similar to having an eye twitch, or even like subtle vibration.

Yes, that is completely normal.  Babycenter.com says that you can definitely feel a lot one day, and then feel nothing the next.  Especially since you are so early. 

The way that I started realizing that it was actually the baby moving (and not gas pains or something similar) is that the movement was way down low (where you wouldn't get gas pains).  I am 19 weeks and just in the past couple of days have started feeling the baby move everyday.  Before then, I would only feel the baby every couple of days.  Good luck!  Its lots of fun when you start feeling them all the time.

 Thanks for your response-I can't wait to start feeling the baby regularly. And KNOW it's the baby

Very normal, as you progress the movements will become more consistent.

When do you feel the baby? When you are sitting still or when you are moving? I haven't felt anything yet but I haven't sat long enough to see if I feel anything.

At my doctors appointment on Wednesday, while we were listening to the heartbeat the NP pointed out when the baby would kick and she asked if I could feel it. I couldn't.

It's early, just wait.

 Usually it's when I am sitting and it's later in the day like 3-4pm. I did feel it Th standing too...But again, I still am not convinced it's the baby...it stood out to me b/c I am looking for it...but it easily could be digestion too. The only thing was, it was a little lower....Soon enough, we will KNOW its the baby.

My Dr said not to really expect anything until closer to 20 weeks so that made me feel better.

I have felt little twinges but not very regularly.  It may be baby or may not be, I am looking forward to being able to tell for sure!

At 15 weeks I started feeling flutters, then a week would go by an I wouldn't feel anything. Then the flutters progressed to twitches. I'd have those for a couple days straight then nothing.  I'm 19 weeks now and the twitches are still occuring, randomly, not on a daily basis.  I know it's the baby because it is very down low. I can't wait to feel kicks!

 Thanks for your post-I cannot wait to feel kicks either! I like your ultrasound image with the Christmas lights in your signature.

I bet it's the baby!  How exciting!

I'm paying close attention to the normal rumblings of my tummy and haven't noticed anything yet!

 

ecjun09

 Oh yay! How fun and exciting if it has been and I have kind of been excusing it. GOOD to know your flutters fluctuated too....Now I am really dying to feel that little cell phone go off again....

Spring Mommy:

yes i definitely went days without feeling any flutters at all. what you are describing is definitely the same feelings I felt. (like a tiny cell phone vibrating inside for a second.)

 Hi there! I meant to update you on our apt...everything is just fine we heard the HB at a solid 150. I seriously have NO symptoms to speak of, so hope that makes you feel better (besides what i think are flutters which have quieted since Th).

Congratulations on a good appt!!  I've been looking on for your posts for an update.  I am very asympomatic as well, but as the pregnancy progresses and things keep going well, I believe maybe we are the lucky ones!

We have an exciting month ahead of us, seems like this is when things really start happening--we'll feel movement and get "certifiable" bumps, I'm SOO looking forward to it.

ecjun09

 YES we do! I am looking so forward to the reassurance that comes with consistent little movements and kicks. Also very excited for a distinguish bump I'll continue looking for your posts esp after you next apt which is soon! BTW, our big u/s is Jan 18th!
