baby movements slowing down?

[Louise]

Kinda worried about something, but it could be my imagination.
Does it mean anything if you feel the movements less frequent or not as strong as before?
I dont actually know if baby has stopped moving as much as he was before but I panick if I dont feel him wiggling about- also, when should I expect to feel the full blown kicks because so far its only if I wear tight jeans and I can only feel him moving and wiggling about if Im laying down.

At you stage some people haven't felt any movements at all. I wouldn't expect to feel movements everyday until around 25 weeks. Try not to worry too much, soom bubs will be keeping you awake all night.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry. It's still pretty early on to be feeling that much.

It's been interesting comaring my two as we've gone along. Sometimes one will have a quiet few days and then the other will take over as the active one or they'll both go a bit quiet and then have a busy few days. They're little individuals and they're already asserting that

Bless, I cant believe youre having twins Helen, I was hoping for a pair of beauties but sadly not this time round (Im happy with my ickle lad tho)- hopefully sometime in the future though I'll have twins, as it runs in the family!
As for the movement, I guess its because Im use to feeling him move everyday, it makes me wonder why all of a sudden he would slow down or sometimes stop for a few hours... Youre right, some people havent felt movement yet and my dr even mentioned at my last visit that I shouldnt be feeling it til 20+ weels- As this is my first, I was basically wondering if its normal and when I will be feeling those real forceful kicks. I want it all to happen now, Im so bloody impaitent aint I? he he

hi lousie no hun i wouldnt worry as you are only 20 weeks and its from now on movements get stronger so dont worry you wont feel all of them anyway i think it was cat who hadnt felt any movements until somethinhg like 23 weeks im not sure as it was ages ago but if you are worried contact your midwife but it now you start to feel movements but not each one xx

Thanks for explaining girls-
KX, my heart was set on a girl yes, but now I have got use to the idea of having a little boy, I wouldnt swap him for the world. Twins would have been nice but its not something you can exactly plan. I dont wanna sound like I was asking for alot because really, I wasnt. Im happy with what I have got, I just hope he's born healthy. Thats all I care about.
Spunkky, the movements I feel at the moment seem to be around the same time every day, so ive noticed! The movements are strange and vary.
One day I can have movemnet that feels as though something has gone *POP* inside me, other days I just get fluttering and a wave-like type of movement. I know I seem paranoid but I think any expecting mother would worry if their baby suddenly stopped moving.
Luckily for me, the little tyke has been moving most of the day now, so Im ok.
