How are those baby movements?

LillyAinwe · #1 March 17th, 2010, 11:35 AM

I was feeling them all last week (finally) but for the last day and a half, nothing. It worries me naturally, but I just keep telling myself s/he is having a sleepy day....

How about all of you? Anyone else not quite feeling the squirmer?

somedays i feel him alot, and then other days i feel nothing, i think it depends on my activity level, when im working and doing things i dont feel him, but when im having a lazy day i seem to feel him alot more.

I've been feeling baby since 15 weeks but some days I'll only get one little kick while others baby is dancing up a storm in there

I just keep in mind that some people still aren't feeling the baby at all, so I can't expect to feel regular movements yet!

Same here. The more I sit, the more I feel her. The more I do, the less. I woke up to pee in the middle of the night a few nights ago, and she didn't stop moving for forever! I just wanted to go back to sleep! But I do enjoy every bump, thump, or kick I get (for now)!

I've only felt the baby once for sure and possibly 1 or 2 other times but not sure it wasn't gas and its been weeks in between. So I am still waiting for some regular recognizable movements. Don't worry just yet. Maybe just in a big growing spurt and sleeping a lot.

I'm 18 weeks and haven't felt the baby yet

I've only recently (like the last couple of days) started feeling baby move every day. I hate those days when you don't feel them move after you first start feeling movement. So nerve wracking. But, babies need that precious rest.

My little one was moving a LOT yesterday. Today, I've felt a little here and there, but nothing like yesterday. I think she/he wore themselves out and is having of a rest day!

I feel baby move pretty much every day, I don't think there has been a day s/he hasn't been kickin around in there - but then again, this is the baby that I SWEAR TO EVERYTHING HOLY is going to try and come out of mommy Alien-style through my belly button because s/he kicks SO hard already!

For example - last night, I accidentally rolled half onto my tummy while sleeping. Baby actually KICKED me until I woke up and rolled over, then proceeded to kick until I rolled onto my right side (the side s/he likes me to sleep on). Kicking so hard I couldn't fall asleep if someone hit me over the head.

I'm sure I'll eventually have days where I don't feel the baby, but for now, sorry - s/he just has to make his/her presence known apparently!

I am 20 weeks and I don't feel consistently feel him, it does worry me. Some days I really feel him, but its more like a squirming/shifting, not kicks. I don't think I have felt him at all today or yesterday, except for maybe once after lunch, but it was so quick that it could have been food digesting. I know its going to be inconsistent for a while and none of us should worry, but I know how you feel!

sunshyne57 · #11 March 17th, 2010, 03:33 PM

Ok I take back my previous post. This baby seems to be most active after lunch and well into the evening....especially around dinner time. I think the baby wants its food

I was feeling little flutters for a couple of weeks, and then those kinda tapered off. I went about a week where I didn't feel anything and it was really freaking me out! Then I had my ultrasound on Monday and he was basically doing jumping jacks in there, and I wasn't feeling them! I was surprised how much he was moving, but today I have been just laying around having a lazy day, and I have on regular workout type pants, and I can feel him bumping against my waistband lol. These feel more like thumps and kicks instead of flutters and movements.

Thanks everyone for your posts. And to LaisyDaisyMama, I am betting I'll have a similar experience; Our U/S is next Monday. So even if I can't feel the LO, At least I'll be able to see it bouncing around on the screen. It was just weird to go five days with lots of little kicks to having... not so much. <3 Thanks for putting up with me!
