Question about first feeling the baby

When u first start feeling the baby, is it normal not to feel it every single day? I would say on average i feel a little something every other day..and sometimes its literally just for a minute and that's it. Is that all normal for 19 weeks? I don't remember anything from my first pregnancy..it was too long ago already.

I hope it's normal- because that's exactly what's been going on in my belly at 19 weeks. I'll feel her for a little bit and then it'll be hours or even a day until I feel her again.

It is normal at 19 weeks I believe, the doctors are more concerned at about 28 weeks or so when they are more quiet. I think they want you to count kicks per hour. One of my phone apps has a kick counter lol.

Re: Question about first feeling the baby

yeah thats exactly what I had around 19 weeks...a few little pitter patters here and there, and not every day...

it got more regular as the weeks went on...

and by 25 weeks I was feeling soooo much movenent, that when I had a 2-3 day span where I felt nothing...the dr called me right in to do a sono and it just so happened the baby moved into a transverse breech, which makes it harder to feel the movement, but at that point they told me to start paying attention to frequency of movements, etc, and call if the pattern slowed to a certain point. it hasn't done that since, and now im 34 weeks and the movements are still every day

but at 19 weeks you're still OK to not feel this every day, all day long

I'm also at 19-20 weeks and definitely am not feeling regular movement. I first started feeling pops here and there last week. Haven't felt anything today at all in fact so it seems to be normal!
