Baby Movement

Just wondering how much movement should I be feeling from I'm 26 weeks and it feels like her movements have decreased. I would usually feel her moving around after I eat but now I only feel her when I'm laying down so that's only at night or in the morning. During the work day I dont really feel her, maybe one kick and that would be all.

Should I be concerned?

Re: Baby Movement

I was feeling the same exact way last week when I was 26 weeks. I got really concerned that movement seemed to lessen (and after eating too, like you)...but then a few days later LO starting kicking up a storm and MUCH harder kicks, so maybe she is just going thru a phase. You should def feel her move a few times a day either way.

Re: Baby Movement

I'm only 23 weeks but I was concerned about the same thing and I asked my doctor. He said its not really until around 28 weeks that you should start feeling the baby move more regularly. So you still have time, but if you're very concerned it couldn't hurt to call ur doctor just to make sure.

Re: Baby Movement

I went through the same thing around the same time. A little after 20 weeks, I started feeling movement and it just climaxed and then around 26 weeks, I almost thought it stopped... I was worried for a few days straight but then it came back, but it's been different types of movement ever since... I think its just the natural cycle!! Don't worry!!
