Periods of inactivity?

Question

I'm 21weeks tomorrow, for a few weeks, I felt the baby kicking and the flutters of him moving around, but for the last few days I haven't felt much. I have placenta previa and he's anterior... anyone else going through this?

Answer

I had a period where I couldn't feel my little guy moving.  I actually went to the doctor just to be sure his heartbeat was still there.  Everything checked out just fine though. I think they often times change positions and we are less likely to feel them move. My doctor said "he probably just found himself a little comfortable cubby hole and decided to hang out there for awhile."  He recently started getting very active again though (about the same time my back pain let up so I'm guessing he was sitting far back).

Answer

I am in the exact same boat! But I'm  not as  along as you. I have partial placenta previa. Have you had cramps from it? I had some bleeding which is how I found out about it, but as soon as the bleeding stopped I started getting more cramps. The Dr said I shouldn't be worried as I'm not bleeding but I was just curious if you have had this too.

Answer

I started feeling mine about a week and a half ago (17w4d) and would feel her pretty consistently every morning. The last couple of days I haven't felt her as much. I'm telling myself that she's probably just still small enough that she can change positions and I don't feel her as much, but I definitely understand how scary and nerve racking it is when you suddenly feel them less active. 😕

Answer

At this age, baby is only awake 6 hours a day. When you are moving around its hard to feel them. Aligning the times you are still and baby is awake is tough! Don't worry too much about movement at this point, and just enjoy when you do feel baby!
