Movement question

mountainkimi

Hi girls,

I'm at 18 weeks and 2 days. Earlier this week, I could feel the baby moving alot. The flutters,swimming, and just weird feelings. The past couple of days not too much. Just a poke or flutter maybe 2x a day. Nothing today at all yet. Is this something I should be concerned with or just chalk it up to no real movement pattern yet? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

You don't usually start to feel regular movements for another few weeks to a month.  So completely normal.

I agree!  I didn't start to feel regular and consistent movement until around 20 weeks.  Even still, there are days my baby is more quiet than others and I figure she is getting her beauty rest!

Yeah, it's really inconsistent in the beginning.  My doc said not to do any kind of kick counts until 26 weeks.

Anyway, it sounds like your little one is right on track!

Totally normal.

 

When I first felt movement, I felt it for two days.  Then a whole week went by before I felt anything again.  The baby is still so small.

They didn't have me start kick counts until week 28.

especially if this is your first pregnancy, I wouldn't expect consistent movement until you were further along. ?I didn't start feeling kicks until 20 weeks and 2 days and even today at 22 weeks sometimes his movement is strong on some days and less on others. ?

I wouldn't be concerned. ??

I don't think you'll have a fixed pattern until you're in the 20's.  It also depends on your activity.  For instance, I'm on bedrest right now so I feel almost everything but as soon as I stand up I don't feel a thing.  Also I read that baby sleeps about 80-90% of the time so that could be why as well... HTH!

there's still no real pattern. I've felt this baby since 14.5 weeks now and it's only been daily since around 18 weeks. Even still some days I feel it all day long and other days only once or twice.
