    Even thought it's hard not to be concerned, I wouldn't worry about it yet. My doctor said for me not to worry about how many times she kicks until I'm 28 weeks along. I have some days were I only feel her a few times a day and others it's almost constant. And I also read somewhere that babies sleep between 12-14 hours a day, so maybe he's just doing that!

    I've worried about the same things. he kicks and kicks for an hour and then nothing. my husband tells me though that he will sometimes come to bed and rest his hand on my stomach and the baby's kicking like a ninja, so maybe he's awake when you aren't. also, if you have anterior placenta (like me) you may not feel him as much unless the kicks are really powerful.

    I hadn't felt regular movement until now (almost 28 weeks) and now it's still unpredictable. My OB said not to worry and told me to start counting kicks (10 within a 2 hour period after dinner) at 31 weeks. I know a lot of OBs have you start at 28 wks. I wouldn't worry, the baby is too little for you to feel his/her kicks consistently yet. Also, I have anterior placenta and as PP said that makes it harder to feel movement. GL!
