Feeling Movement Question

jaimieleedx3 · July 2012

I started feeling movement last week and I felt baby girl moving a lot last week, but the past couple of days I haven't been feeling much at all. Should I be worried???

Nope. There were some days that I felt A TON of movement and some other days that I felt very little..like maybe just a few hiccups or punches. Now, I feel the movements are getting stronger and kicks and punches are very VERY noticable as well as any rolling around. I was reading in the current issue of American Baby and they said that a few good ways to feel movement for some people is to lay on your side, to stay hydrated and pay attention about 1/2 hour after eating. You shouldn't be concerned until your ob asks you to do kick counts (IF they ask, some do, some don't.) How far along are you?

It won't be consistent for a little while longer. I'd say around 25 weeks or so you should start to feel it everyday (obviously everyone is different) and in 3rd tri you will feel the baby all.the.time. In 3rd tri decreased movement warrants a call to the OB but not really before then.
