27 weeks pregnant and never felt baby kick , this happen to anyone else? What should I do

Question

Since day 1 I've never really felt movement.  I felt flutters from weeks 20-24 maybe 4 times a day.  Still never felt a kick and im 27 weeks and never feel anything movement. Though I still get sick in the morning. My anatomy scan went great at 20 weeks what could be wrong?

Answer

Do you have an anterior placenta? If you do you won't feel the baby move as much.

Answer

Have you been able to hear the heartbeat or anything since the 20 week scan? I would give your doctor a call to see if you can come in at least for a Doppler or something to calm your nerves.

Answer

Check with your doctor for reassurance, but most likely all is fine! I have an anterior placenta and rarely feel baby girl. I have a co-worker who never felt either of her babies due to her placenta.

Answer

I never ever felt my second baby kick. And he is a very rambunctious child. If you're worried, check with the doctor. But depending on your placenta placement, you may just not be able to feel much. It does happen.

Answer

Everyone will scare you with the "have your baby checked" stuff. Of course, ANY concerns should be taken up with a health care provider and not some internet forum. However, you might find some comfort in knowing what an anterior placenta is. That's a placenta that sits in front of the baby rather than behind it that adds an extra layer of cushion against the wall of your uterus. That's my position and I didn't even THINK I felt the baby until about 26 weeks. My doctor addressed this right away and said, "don't let know it all moms scare you, you're just fine and may not feel the baby until the very end." That of course was a little disappointing and low and behold she now kicks the crap out of me all day. Call your doc, but don't stress.

Answer

Ok you need to call your healthcare provider and have your baby checked. If there's no movement by 24 weeks it's essential you do this and as you've went further than this it's even more important now.
It could be that you have an anterior placenta that is cushioning the kicks but really you should be feeling it now regardless. Good luck x

Answer

Sometimes it just takes a while. Don't worry. It will happen then you will be asking her to slow down so you can sleep lol
