How often should...

you feel the baby moving. I'm 18 weeks 3 days and I felt the baby move a few times last week but the past few days I have not really felt anything. I'm so paranoid (in case you haven't already noticed). I have my level II scheduled for Wednesday and it really can't come fast enough. Now I'm thinking maybe it wasn't my baby that I was feeling last week. TIA!!!

Re: How often should...

i havent felt it yet
not that i know of
i will be 17 weeks on tuesday

Re: How often should...

When I first felt the baby I didn't feel it again for a few days, its gotten more and more consistent the past week, it took like a week or two to get to this point....

Re: How often should...

I had my first movement on 15w6d.

Then I felt the baby everyday for a few days. Lately I don't feel it that often and it's worrying me too, but I asked the girls on here this in another thread.

Everyone told me in the beginning it's not consistent, so I am trying to go based on that.

I am now 19w3d and I haven't been feeling movement on a consistent basis. Hoping to feel some today for some reassurance, as I haven't felt a strong movement since last week.

But I do think it's normal at this stage of the game here.

Re: How often should...

I felt a few little flutters at around 18 weeks and wasnt really sure if it was the baby or not. They werent really consistant and they were really light. When I was in my early 20's they got a little bit more consistant but were still light. Mid to late 20's is when I really started to feel the kicks, jabs and rolls. I am 34 weeks and they are not as consistant as they were but at this stage of the game he's running out of room so he doesnt have too much wiggle room. Though when he does give a kick or a jab it's definately known and felt everywhere

i started to feel her at 17 weeks now at 22 weeks I feel her quite a few times throughout the day

Re: How often should...

I'm so eager to feel him/her!!!

Re: How often should...

It's extemely common to not feel consistent movement early on. I felt one or two flutters every few days for about 1 week. Then, I started feeling frequent flutters at 16 weeks. I felt flutters several times per day for about 1 week after that. Then, I didn't feel much for a few days. Now, at 18.5 weeks, I feel them pretty often although there are some days when is very quiet. What you're experiencing is normal.
