worried

[saze]

is anyone els worried about their baby not moving right now? i dont know whether its just me thinking too much. i had movement this morning including 5 big kicks then some an hour ago but it only seems to be moving when i poke at it first . Ive been laid on bed for 15-20mins pocking at it and it hasnt moved this time . Is it me? or should i be worried that it hasnt moved when i tried moving it? x

At 18 weeks, you don't have to worry about frequency of baby movements or patterns of baby movements. At this point, your baby is still small that He/she could be moving and you wouldn't be able to feel it. As long as you feel something you have nothing to worry about, I was the same as you but now that I'm 20 weeks I feel it a lot more.

I had days when I felt nothing at all really apart from the odd movement, the bigger they get the more you feel

I used to worry about movements all the time, but then baby used to wake up and start kicking me at about 2am.

I also didn't really feel kicks til I was about 22wks!!

You have had some good movements today so try not to worry too much. I think that babies sleep in the womb for like 18+ hours a day anyways xxxx

You shouldn't be worried at all. I have odd days of not being able to feel anything to days where I feel constant kicks. Generally women tend to feel first kicks from 18-22 weeks, considering our stage I'd consider ourselves lucky we're feeling our little ones. Just enjoy them! xxx

Your not being selfish, just concerned - I get days like this too. This is my first baby so I don't know what to expect, it's only normal. x x x

because they are little buggers that is why!!! mine did it to me around week 21 and it was the worst feeling ever, but he must have just changed position cos a few days later it all started up again!!! I'd even rang the midwife but she wasnt to concerned she said its only after about 24 weeks they monitor movement, but even now I only feel him on a morning or an evening, rest of the time there is nothing, but if I deliberately make him move by poking, drinking cold water or having a bath then he throws a right paddy and boy do I feel it!!! lol

When I had a scan last week the baby did a full 360 and was squirming about on the screen and I didn't feel a thing and that was at 22 weeks hun, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I went last week for 2 nearly 3 days without feeling anything xxxx
