Movement?

Question

So, when I turned 16 weeks I felt baby move a lot but now I’m almost 18 weeks and I feel little to nothing, I feel smaller, I get a lot of cramps and sharp pains but that’s about it. Should I just wait to call my doctor? What do y’all think? Are you getting good movements?

Answer

I was the same way. Turns out I have an anterior placenta so when baby moved up.. he sorta moved behind it. I’m 26w this week and feel more movement. It wouldn’t uncommon to go a couple weeks without feeling anything though.

Answer

I didn’t get more consistent movements until about 20 weeks. There is still a lot of room for baby to hide in. If you are worried I don’t think it would hurt to call your doctor especially since you are having cramps and such.

Answer

I started feeling my baby around then too. I felt so much movement yesterday but today hardly anything. I’m 18 and 5 today. Trying to tell myself it’s normal because they say not to worry about movement until 24-28 weeks because before then it’s irregular but I can’t help but worry either. I will probably still call tomorrow though if things don’t pick up just because I get really bad anxiety. I think it’s normal for baby to hide at this stage though. That could be why you don’t feel as big, or maybe your just less bloated today. I know a lot of woman don’t feel their babies until around the 20 week mark so I’m just trying to tel myself I’m lucky for feeling her this much already. I hope this helps a little x
