19 weeks - Haven't felt movements in a few days?

[MommyMika]

So I was feeling little movements every few days during weeks 16-17, and then during the start of week 18 it was changing to at least one little movement every day! I was super thrilled... but now this is around my 4th day without feeling any movement...

I've tried drinking a cold glass of juice and laying down for a while, laying on my tummy, rubbing my tummy, everything I'm just 19 weeks today, so I'm sure the baby is fine... I just need some reasurrance...

My husband put his ear on my tummy last night for about 15-20 mins since I was worried, and he said he could hear lots of wooshing noises... and then all of a sudden he said he heard the heartbeat! I didn't think this was possible but he swears he heard it! So that made me a feel a bit better... but anyway, I'm rambling now...


Anyone else felt a stop in movement around this time?

Hi honey, I'm in the same boat. Had lots of movements Saturday and not much since. Seem to have quite big gaps between feeling anything. Am freaking out a bit too! Can only think bubs has changed position and limbs are inward so not feeling much. xxx

I wouldn't worry. I used to go for days without any movement at all. Maybe the baby has just moved to the back so you can't feel him xx

I think maybe 19 weeks may still be too early to feel every day?? Also I've read on here that the position of the placenta can affect what movements you feel?

I've just started to feel LO over the past week or so and was worrying myself sick over the weekend that I hadnt felt anything for a few days. I was lying down rubbing my tummy and asking baby for some reassurance when I felt a couple of little pokes, like they had just heard me!


I'm sure everythings fine xx

sounds liike me....i get lots of flutters one day nothing the next and it varies so much, for 3 days running i felt bubs at same time (12 oclock) day and night but its changd again lol i aint got a clue when i feel bubs next but its exciting when i do. try not to worry to much im sure bubs is fine and just moving at night when your asleep hence why youve not felt it x x

Thanks guys!!

There's so much to worry about when you're pregnant!!!

I completely understand where you are coming from. My Dr. told me that daily movement won't be until around 24 weeks so going days without movement at this point is very normal. It's so easy to worry though, isn't it?

This always confuses me. I still cannot say that I felt any movement at all yet. Am I just oblivious to what it actually feels like I wonder?? I would have thought they would be in there fighting with each other or something? Any advice on what to expect or will I just know it when it happens? I go for scan tomorrow and assume all is well, my belly keeps on growing.

Oh I'm really glad you posted this hon

I'm feeling exactly the same! I have felt bubs a little bit nearly every day for about a week but today nothing. Sensibly I know its just too early to feel movement every day but its so hard not to worry.

I'm sure our bubbies are just hiding somewhere.
