I'm being paranoid...

This past week I FINALLY started feeling her moving. DH even got to feel a kick the other night.

Since yesterday, I've felt random movements, but nothing nearly as strong as they were a few days ago. I also can't "count" movements yet, as they've been so fleeting the past 24 hours.

I know I'm just being a nervous preggo- but this is NORMAL right? The strength of her movements could be inconsistent?

Thanks for any reassurance/advice....

I am not familiar with this yet, just wanted to send you hugs

I do remeber reading if you drink orange juice or soda you may be able to get the baby moving.

Re: I'm being paranoid...

Totally normal.

I don't believe you do the "kick counts" til sometime in the 30 week range.

If you get nervou, just drink something sweet or eat some candy and you wil get a burst of energy.

I didn't feel move for a LONG time and I still couldn't do a kick count.

I am 28 weeks, and I think I'm supposed to start kick counts this week. Honestly - There are days when she is just more quiet than other's. It's completely normal... And so is your feeling of anxiety. I remember when I was prego with DD - If I didn't feel constant movement, I got nervous.

Thanks ladies..... I HATE being paranoid, you've made me feel better.

Re: I'm being paranoid...

I just started feeling the baby move about a week or so ago. It happens more when I am laying down and it doesn't happen all the time. I think this is normal. I try eating sugar every now and then to get some good kicks!

Re: I'm being paranoid...

It took me a long time to really feel the baby move - probably my 6th month.... I wouldnt worry....
