Strong to weak fetal movement

jwiem15 · January 2015

hi gals,
I was having very strong fetal movements that I could feel for about 2 weeks I am 20 weeks now and the fetal movements have weakened and are so subtle!?! Anyone else?? Why is this. I have doc appt this week but I am impatient to get input lol. Oh and we had an ultrasound a week ago healthy very active baby was shown.

notquiteblushing · January 2015

The baby may have changed positions. Try laying down on your side. I wouldn't worry. 20 weeks is very early.

mrs1374a · January 2015

The baby probably just moved, you're still early, it's normal.

Angelaelisa04 · January 2015

I've noticed the same thing over the last 2 days. They still have a lot of room in there so try to stay positive.

taboullio84 · January 2015

Probably just facing towards your back... Hard to feel everything.

ajgerber · January 2015

Search and you will find that it's normal not to feel consistent movements for several more weeks.

kelseygaona · January 2015

I was just thinking this same thing earlier.

dedebush02 · January 2015

Is this what the board has come to? Questions like this.

OP if you want a serious answer I dont know maybe read a book or use google.

jwiem15 · January 2015

Wow dedebush02 your a real nice person. If it bothers you that much move on to something else. No one wants your negative input.

jwiem15 · January 2015

Thanks ladies for the replies. once I get a professional answer from my doc. I'll let you know what he says too. Hopefully that will give us all peace of mind. Most of the research I found says the movements should get stronger over time not weaker that is why I had a concern here. I realize it's normal to not feel movement all the time. Happy pregnancy to you all.

@jwiem15‌, @dedebush02‌ is just saying what is posted all around this board: we are not medical professionals and so it's really not the best place to ask such questions. She's not being rude, but given how much this has been communicated, it's frustrating when people continue to post medical questions.

jwiem15 · January 2015

@hoodoll82‌ I understand that but if someone else has experienced the same concern and has some advice then what's the hurt. I am not asking for people to diagnose me.

HoosOnFirst · January 2015

Heck, I've had the same issue as you, but I would never presume that we are experiencing this for the same reason because each person's pregnancy will be different. And you did ask us to diagnose you when you said "Why is this?" Someone could tell you what their doctor said about them specifically, but it doesn't mean it applies to you. And you said yourself you are seeing your dr shortly. So being patient for a few days will be much more accurate than anything any of us say.

Also, there is a thread specifically for Daily Symptoms that you might want to check out: you would be able to see if anyone else is experiencing this. You could also use the search function to see if there's been any recent discussions on this - I bet there have been.

Essentially there's been a bunch of changes to The Bump recently and so there's a bit of sensitivity with newer posters who start posting without checking things out first. Not trying to be a jerk, but these type of posts tend to get sarcastic response for that reason!

jwiem15 · January 2015

@hoodoll82‌ and now you've turned this thread into something it shouldn't have been. Sheesh
Fun sponge

thelittlestbee · January 2015

OP just a word of advice: these kinds of questions generally do not go over well here because we're are not medically trained professionals. They are almost always guaranteed to get a couple of snarky responses.

That being said... I think what you're experiencing is normal. I don't know WHY it's happening, but it doesn't sound like anything to be worried about (as long as you can still feel the baby moving).

dedebush02 · January 2015

@tanners5360‌ I feel like the bigger issue is that you probably haven't fixed your roots. Get on it ...... like now. To you calling me a name.... tou violation.

HoosOnFirst · January 2015

Thanks @thelittlestbee‌ for making my point a bit better than I did. (I'm being sincere!)

dedebush02 · January 2015

Lol ok @tanners5360. You're hilarious, getting all worked up over your roots. All you got to do is go to target and pick up a 10 dollar box of dye. No need to be so sensitive.

I'm not calling anyone names on here, that's you. I have given good answers where there deserved and snarky ones where they are deserved. I haven't broken tou. It's the Internet, please don't tell me how to post. I feel like my comments are pretty tame considering what the community used to be.

tanners5360 · January 2015

@dedebush02‌ for the love of God it's spelled "pretty"

tanners5360 · January 2015

@dedebush02‌ I just can't... Your spelling and use of your instead of you're is atrocious... Just stahpp.

dedebush02 · January 2015

@tanners5360‌ The best you can do is get on me for my your vs you're and pritty vs pretty spelling error. You stahpp or is it stop? Lol Instead of focusing on my spelling you should be focusing on your atrocious roots. For the love of god just take a chill pill. I'll fix my two miss spelled words. All you had to do was ask.

mathistm · January 2015

@tanners5360‌ and @dedebush02‌
Nobody cares to see your bitchfest at one another. Maybe you could do it in a PM? Also it's not snark when you are following one another around to complain about each other's roots/spelling and grammar-it's just annoying and not the least bit funny.

dedebush02 · January 2015

@mathistm‌ I'm definitely not trying to be funny. I'm being serious. Her roots are out of control, something must be done. Come on nobody's going to pm this crap. Plus this particular thread was seriously boring. It needed some spice. Actually the whole bored needs some spice. Anyways, my issue isn't with you, it's with tanners roots.

thelittlestbee · January 2015

I'm not going to get involved in the this little love fest you ladies have going on, but I would like to point out ONE thing: the last time someone made a comment about getting out of your "double-wide" it was a nasty little troll by the name of @fortunate14life and I recall she got called out big time for her disgusting comments all over this board (especially during the hour of silence).

Don't go down to that level...

Anyways, there are some threads and WK's on the TTGP board that are more snark worthy than this one.

tanners5360 · January 2015

@dedebush02‌ put your Alf picture back... Just sayin

mathistm · January 2015

Oh alright. Keep on keepin on then. And for what it's worth, @dedebush02‌ I think you look pretty in your avatar.

LOL

At least you tried

staciecoffey · January 2015

Google, your OB, baby books, and other posts are definitely your friends in these types of situations, especially if you don't like snark/sarcasm. Take it from some one who got a baby book late in the game, it is your friend. Now if it had better pictures, I'd be set!

@dedebush02‌, I agree with @mathistm‌ , you do look pretty in your pic.

dedebush02 · January 2015

Thank you @mathistm and @scoffey0615‌. @tanners5360 This is getting boring. Your not even coming up with good responses. I posted my picture so you could see that it's ok to be a natural brunette and you asked for me to post one. Personally Alf is way cooler than me. If you really have to stay blonde just fix the brown.

Trampslikeus · January 2015

is @tanners5360 still pretending she isn't here for drama, considering those are the ONLY posts she's shown up in, and gotten herself right in the middle of? Because that's at least something to giggle at.

OP - Actually measuring fetal movements to reassure you of fetal health isn't supposed to start until 26 weeks, give or take, because its expected the movement you can actually feel is VERY inconsistent at this point.

I'm honestly wondering if tanners and fortunate are the same person... only given the types of insults I've seen thrown around by the two. The similarities are uncanny.

I've decided @tanners5360‌ is just a drama llama who has nothing significant to say... ever

I'm in the drama llama camp as well. If she's going to be trying to start stuff can't she at least apply some wit or humor so we can get a little entertainment to go along with it??

OnWayto3 · January 2015

PP, do people really have that much time on their hands??!! Probably, but sheesh! *shaking head*

Nobody wants to read anybody's bitchfest.

I think at some point we all have some silly questions (though I don't think this one is silly) that cross our minds and sometimes we dare ask them to some people be it our friend, doctor or simply a random stranger on Internet forum.
We can all post whatever we like to post about and answer however we want to but personally I think that eveybody who is being rude (or even snarky) with complete strangers are either too insecure in real life or just don't have one. Because if you don't like the post all you have to do is just skip it, not post in it and make it more active this way. I hope nobody believes that one can change a complete internet stranger by indicating what and where to post, but you can always simply not be rude and react to anykind of posts you dislike with the same politeness you would in real life. Just stop bitching from behind the screen

)

Today the information about everything is literally everywhere. All we have to do is look in right places. I think everybody know about this, but since we still post even silly questions on this type of Internet forums it must be something we simply nèed.
Every pregnant women on earth has passed these 40 weeks (sometimes more or less) wondering/worrying/just being curious or wanting to have her own discussion about the things she may have heard responses for billions of times. So why stop now? Just because some random strangers say so? Nothing is anybody's business not even non medical questions that are "acceptably" to ask opinions about, but we still post them and that's because it's an internet forum made especially for things related to pregnancy and womanly topics around it

As for the question OP asked I would answer the same way @Angelaelisa04‌ did

Alright @megron‌, here's your spice! Lol

@AnAdult

and who are you?

megron · January 2015

@AnAdult‌ - no one wants to read your bitchfest???

Speak for yourself. I'm hooked up to a blood transfusion and I don't have anything better to do..

Ohh "you don't have a life you sit on the Internet all day," adding that to the bingo card!

AnAdult · January 2015

@megron‌
Ok I'll be honest. I did read this bitchfest and it was hmmm time consuming, supposedly entertaining but too childish for me.
I'm not going to interrupt

) enjoy it!:) (seriously not "bitchfesting" here).

@scoffey0615‌
TL:DR to read any post you write sweetheart

@Trampslikeus‌
Hmmm and who are you? lol
