Baby not kicking enough??

Question

I am currently 21w 3d and I feel as though my baby isnt kicking enough? I had 3 strong kicks 2 days ago, but havent felt anything since. I'm also a first time mom no I truly have no real idea as to what or how much I should be feeling. I also have my checkup in 2 days to talk to my doctor about it, just thought i'd get y'alls input. Thanks in advance!

Answer

I freaked out constantly during my first pregnancy. My doctor said not to worry about the consistency of kicks until 26-28 weeks. It can still be hard to feel at this stage, especially regularly. I’m on my second pregnancy and 22w3d and sometimes I feel her all day and sometimes I won’t feel her until I lay down at night and really concentrate. It’s hard not to stress but baby is fine! That being said, trust your gut. If you feel something is wrong, don’t be scared to call the doctor. That is what they are there for! I called the 24 line on a Saturday during my first pregnancy when I was 23 or 24 weeks because I hadn’t felt my daughter move all day 🤦🏻‍♀️ I kept apologizing but she was very nice about it lol

Answer

At that point it’s too early to really have a consistent feel. It is normal to feel something and then baby be not as active.

Answer

at 21 weeks, that's normal. you dont have anything to worry about until further along.
