nearly 20 weeks, hardly any movement & bump feels softer

[dt1234565]

I have mentioned this before but i have only felt proper kicks in the last 4 days and this is my third pregancy, with my first two i felt them at 16 weeks and DS a little earlier.

My 20 week scan is late at 22+3 so as yet i dont know if i have AP but i am guessing i probably do.

My tummy also seems a bit balloon like and goes up and down, try to relax hun and enjoy your scan on Thursday xxxx

Hunny your scan is going to be amazing! I agree u really do need to relax a little but i totally understand where u are coming from honestly i do. Im having my 5th baby and i still worry just as much! lol
Totally normal for your tummy to change shape and for it to seem like baby has disapeared especially when baby moves position. Dont forget to post pics up of your little one on thursday when u get chance :thumpsup: xxx

Hi hun,

I am the same as you, I have my 20 week scan tomoz (I am very excited but at the same time so nervous for bad news!! SIlly isnt it!!) I feel movement pretty much daily but some days its barely anything and then I get so parionoid!

I am hoping tomorrow will stop me worrying and yours too for Thursday!! x

Mines doing this too.
Trying not to fret, but...hard!
It had a few really active days but lately just felt wiggles. I think it's growing because I'm asleep on my feet the past few days too.

lol girl I'm sorry but if you weren't so close to your scan on Thursday, I'd start taking up a collection to get you a private one!

You are gonna be just fine hon and we all want pics on Thursday!!

This really made me laugh LOL!! xx

Thankyou all loads for being supportive, im so close to thursday now so hopefully i have nothing to worry about then i will be relaxed.
thankyou again ladies

Lauralora, you make me look like a level headed non worrier! I just want to give you a hug!

My tummy's all over the place at the moment. Sometimes it's bigger on one side. Sometimes it's rock hard, and sometimes it changes size. The way I think about it is... where would it go if it wasn't there?! Worrying is a vital part of what we're doing, because it makes us think about our limits, but as my GP said yesterday, it doesn't do us any good.

Sweetie, mine's got smaller again. It definitely changes when I 'ahem' need the loo

[lauralora]

When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't feel any movement until 22 - 23 weeks. I was worried sick cause my bump buddy (who was also a first timer) had been feeling movement since 16 weeks. I also remember my bump changing almost daily at this point. One day I'd look PG, the next, just fat!
I'm sure all will be well. Good luck with your scan.

Hi,

To be honest, I think we are quite similar! I have been thinking the same for the last couple of days! I have a vague recolection of sitting up in the middle of the night on Thursday and thinking I felt something, but haven't felt anything since (now I am wondering if it was a dream!?!). I can't wait til

A) I have my 20 week scan (but I am scared stiff)
B) I feel bubs moving so I know everything is OK.

I am sure that you will have an amazing experience on Thursday and will log on as soon as I get home from work to see how you got on ~ want to see pics too!!!

If you want to chat to a similar worrier, you know where I am!

Take care hun.

 

[lauralora]

Thankyou hun
& things will be okay with you too!
i will update soon as i get home
xx

Will look forward to it....have you any feelings about what you are having/preferences?

 

[lauralora]

for some reason i feel 95% sure its a boy, everyone thinks im carrying like its a boy, you cant tell im pregnant from the back, its all carried low at the front of my belly.
the only thing that makes me think its not a boy is the HB which is between 150 - 160

i really dont have a preference i will be so excited no matter what the outcome, but i think because ive convinced myself its a boy, i want a boy that little bit more lol.

how about you?

Good luck for Thursday Laura, it will be fine, just enjoy the scan and meeting your baby again - as my mum says, dont buy trouble when there isnt any there xxx

 

[Shining Star]

I have no idea really and don't mind but I think somewhere deep down I am hoping it is a little girl! When I think of my baby I think about a girl but maybe that is just because that is what I would like?

My scan is on 16th Feb so I have a while to wait (and worry!!!).

So exciting for you to find out!!!

Hello lauralora

i've just read your post and it seems that i'm having the same problem as you did.i am actually 20 weeks pregnant, by 18 weeks i was having quite serious and strong fetal movements but recently i've noticed that it suddenly stopped.i can feel very light occasional movements but they are not as strong.Also, my belly has really softened, it is no more tight and hard.i know that you've been through this and i would like to know if it's a bad sign and if i should see a doctor quickly. what has been your outcome?plase reply, it's urgent.thanks a lot

lauralora went on to have a gorgeous little boy, this thread is quite old. your baby is small at the moment and te most likely thing that has happened is that it has moved/turned around and is now in a position where you can't feel the movement as much. please try not to worry, i understand how hard it is, but the movements will pick up again as baby grows xx
