Normal ?

Question

Okay ladies i have a question. I have been under a lot of stress the past few days and i haven't felt my baby move in about 3 days now...should i be worried ? Im damn near about to go to the emergency room lol im 17 weeks and normally feel flutters at least. Im getting a little worried. Is this normal ?

Answer

As others have said it is quite early. At this stage you will go a few days between feeling movements, so it’s completely normal. My midwife had said to me, for when you’re not feeling any movement to lie in bed; no distractions (phone, TV, etc) and just lie on your side with your hand on your tummy for an hour. That way you’re relaxed and baby has more of a chance to move about and for you to feel it. Your stress could be making you clench your muscles thus reducing your chance of feeling it move. I hope this helps! But don’t panic too much at such an early stage. I’m sure everything is fine 😊

Answer

It stresses me out too but it is still super early! Baby could have shifted and maybe is kicking backwards or something!

Answer

Its still so so early to be feeling regular movements, I started feeling my baby at 15 weeks, then at 16+2 had 11 days of feeling nothing and I'm back to feeling him again and am now 18 weeks 🥰
Thats being said, I'll never tell anyone not to be seen for reduced movement because you just never know!
But where I am in the UK we don't get seen for reduced movement before 26 weeks 🤷‍♀️
