Movement Worry

[pinkgem100]

Hi all, i know this is a bit silly as i am only 16 weeks but for the last 5 days ben felling the baby moving quite a lot, especially at night and i have found it quite reassuring as i am getting close to the time i lost my first but last night i felt nothing and today nothing so far. I know its silly as you cant always feel so early but as i have been feeling the baby so much its driving me crazy that i havent felt it, really need to get this off my chest and i know that i am being a bit silly!!

You're not being silly, after what you've been through it's natural to worry. I had a midwife appt at 18 weeks with this one (it's my sixth baby) and I was concerned as I'd felt the baby move lots but then nothing for a day or two. She said it was normal not to feel the baby move every day before 20 weeks (if it's not a first pregnancy as movements are not usually felt until much later with first babies) and that I shouldn't panic if I didn't feel it for a couple of days. She found its heartbeat immediately.

That said, if you're really anxious then call your midwife/GP. A good health professional will not mind checking the baby's heartbeat to reassure you. Take care.x
