Feeling Movements

[USAFWife319]

I started to feel flutters last Tuesday at exactly 15 weeks. The first couple days it was only in the evening then on Thursday and Friday it was all day both days and very active. I felt it move Saturday morning but I haven't felt anything since then. I know I'm still early to be feeling movement but with a miscarriage in January it just worries me a bit more. Is it normal to feel the baby be really active then nothing?

Waiting on a call from the doctor

It's pretty normal for this to happen. So you're not gonna feel it move everyyday. It's gonna happen every now and again when it makes contact with your uterus. Because it's so small that doesn't happen all the time! You're completely fine.

I just felt some more flutters!!!! I called to reschedule my sono and doc appointments next week (just a day earlier) and as soon as I hung up the phone I felt flutters, guess it's excited!

awesome! You can also try shining a light on your belly. That makes mine move a lot

I've only just started to feel movement myself (still not sure if it's gas. lol). But I read on another thread that when you first start feeling flutters, the baby is still small enough that depending on his position, he could be kicking all day and you may not be able to feel it. It all depends which way he's positioned at the time.

I'm sure everything is fine! If you are still worried, you could get a doppler. When the baby is a bit quiet, it's nice to listen to the heartbeat for a little reassurance.

I used to get that a lot when I first started feeling him/her. Some days I'd get lots of flutters, other days not! Try not to panic

Yup. I started feeling flutters at 13 weeks and like 4 days then baby went quiet for a few days then again in the middle of week 14 then quiet and back until almost 17 weeks it was almost everyday. The past few days baby has been quiet again which was scary since LO was moving so much before but he/she has been crazy active today.

I still feel movement now, and then but every time I feel something it's stronger than before so it keeps me calm.
