Movements??

[Wallflower]

Hi,

What movements are you feeling and how often?

I'm a bit puzzled, I'm almost 22 weeks and hardly feeling anything. Started feeling movement around 18 weeks but only felt it after my dinner and only really light pokes but it would last around 20 mins. The movements have trailed off and over the past week have hardly felt anything, only the odd light poke. I know bubs is ok as I have a heartbeat monitor, the heartbeat is strong and I can also hear it thrashing around and kicking but why can't I feel it? I'm not overweight, I was a size 12 before pregnancy and have only gone up a size so far

Do you think this is normal?

It all depends on which way baby is kicking, you can only feel it when baby is kicking outwards. Also your placenta could be in the way which would cushion the kicks and again stop you feeling them. Just wait until baby takes up all the room and the kicks will be coming from everywhere

I'm only just starting to notice it more now although have felt "vibrations" since about 18wks. The other night while lying in bed I was reading and thought I may have been feeling kicks so I looked and actually saw my belly move and then this morning while driving to work I felt definite kicks in my lower abdomen (am thinking bubs was fighting against my jeans which may be a little tight now ). I'm still not feeling it all day every day though.

I think it's normal and as you say, you know bubs is okay in there so that's what counts. I suppose before long we'll be complaining about the constant movement

Thanks for your replies, I'm glad I'm not alone! I've read other posts where ladies seem to be feeling lots of movements and was worried a bit..

lalitas charm & Berri, you're right, I'm sure that before long we will be getting kicked all the time and will definitely know about it then
