Movement at 21/22 weeks??

Question

So I'm 21+5 pregnant and overweight. I mostly only feel baby move in the morning and night when I'm on my back. Maybe once or twice during the day while I'm sitting at my desk. And when I do feel him, it's only for a minute or two at a time. Should I be feeling him move more and more often? I'll be asking my Dr about this at my next appt but I'm just curious as to how often others feel their babies move. Thanks Mamas!

Answer

I'm the same lots of movement while lying down but only slight movement during day. But when I was at scan the other day baby was moving constantly, I just can't feel all the movements! Like others has said until you are in your third trimester don't read too much into it, although I sometimes get paranoid too when it's been hours and not felt baby move x

Answer

I had the same q? and my ob told me that during the day since I work I won't feel the bb move as much.... she told to start counting the kicks and move by 28 weeks i. 23 +2

Answer

They tell you not to start counting kicks until 26-28 weeks purely because baby doesn't develop a pattern until then. And that's why they tell you not to start counting kicks before, baby still has lots of room to hide, twist and turn, I'm 35 weeks today and last night I was watching my belly move and I could visibly see him moving ALOT but I couldn't physically feel it :S was weird .. Also through the day as your moving they say it MIMICKS a rocking motion for baby so when your up and about they will sleep mostly X

Answer

Thanks ladies. I'll try not worry until I get further along. 😊

Answer

I literally could copy and paste this post.  Over weight, 22 weeks, moves when lying down or occasionally at my desk.  It's still too early to count kicks so don't stress too much.
