I hate it when I can't feel him.

I started feeling flutters a few weeks ago, and just last week I felt him move and pretty consisntently since. I haven't felt him for over a day now. I know it's normal, but I can't help but to worry!! Feeling him squirm gives me SUCH peace of mind. Something I really need since all the heartbreak on this board lately. Anyone else?

    I literally googled this same thing like 10 minutes ago. I read to take a can of pop, put the bottom of it on your stomach, and flick the tab a few times. It should make him move. I tried it and sure enough he gave me a good hard kick right back! Lol!

    I know you know this, but you are totally fine!! At 20 weeks I wouldn't feel him for days after feeling him consistantly. 

    I am not sure about all of the details of the recent losses on 2nd tri, but I know most of the time late term losses are because the baby is born too early, not because they just pass away in utero.

    I'm the same way. I know I shouldn't worry, and she moves every day. But I wish she'd move all day every day so I don't have to think about it.

    Interesting! I just tried it (when my coworker's backs were turned) and didn't work...  but i'm eating lunch right now, that should get him moving. I hope!

    I am RIGHT there with you! He was moving around like crazy Saturday-Tuesday, then Wednesday i only felt him a couple of times and today i have only felt him a couple of times.. I know i have an anterior placenta and i should feel lucky i can feel him at all. but it makes me worry so much when i don't feel him regularly!

    Im w/ you.  She will kick and move consistently for a couple days and then.. nothing.  After a couple days of only a few movements here and there she went to town kicking at mid night last night.......theres no ryhme or reason, lol.
