20 weeks with second, still don't feel movement

alycicle · May 2013

so i am 20 weeks pregnant with my second baby and i still don't feel her move. i am nervouse because we lost her twin with this pregnancy at 8 weeks but didn't find out until 12 weeks and she was measuring a little small at her anatomy scan. i cant help but freak out... i know i was feeling her older brother by now, and a lot.

When is your next appt? When was the last u/s you had?

I honestly would probably call my Dr if I wasn't feeling movement (on the inside). Do you think you could possibly be feeling it, but not realizing it? I've been feeling this one for a couple weeks now, but not from the outside. Only every once in awhile can I feel it on the outside now.

I just started feeling more noticeable movement. Still not consistent.

Do you have an A/S coming up? Seeing baby move on screen helped me feel more secure.

I'm on my third LO and at 22.5 weeks I JUST felt this little one Saturday for the first time. And that was it, only once so far.

Seems pointless to say, but try not to worry.

my next appointment is the 3rd... i dont feel her on the inside or outside... i am a bigger girl so i don't expect to feel her on the outside yet, but i wish i felt her on the inside.

she is really high, so i don't know if that has something to do with it. or the fact that i had a c section 10 months ago has something to do with it.

my doctor said her ultrasound looked great though, so i am probably freaking out over nothing

My girlfriend didn't feel her 3rd until 24w.

I just started feeling small movements around 20 weeks, they didn't get bigger until after 21 weeks.

Do you have an anterior placenta? I have one with this LO and noticed that it took much longer for me to feel her even though she's my second. The tech didn't even bother to mention that I have an AP and so when I mentioned that I hadn't felt the baby move yet to my midwife she checked the notes from my 12 week scan and told me about the AP....

i had my a/s last monday, that's how i know she is measuring a little small but the doctor doesnt seem too concerned... don't know about my placenta, it hasn't been mentioned

I would be phoning the doctor and asking for an appointment... but that's probably more paranoia based than anything.

If u are worried I would call your doc. My friend called all the time when she stopped feeling movement and got an ultrasound right away and now she has a super cute and healthy 2 month old!

All of this. I have an AP. I had to ask the tech about it specifically because I knew it was so different with #2 than it was with #1. They weren't going to mention it otherwise. I do feel movement but it's not that much.
