Baby's movement 17-18 weeks

I will be 18 weeks tomorrow, how much should I be feeling DS? I feel like last week I felt him more than this week. And in the last day or so I really haven't felt anything. When I do feel him it's just flutters but it's so reassuring. Now I'm making myself crazy bc I'm not feeling him as much.

ETA: We had a Dr.'s a ppointment on Wed. and we did hear the heartbeat so I really shouldn't be overanalyzing but I can't help it.

I didn't really feel anything until 22 weeks, everyone is different though. Most activity in the begining was at night for me and as the baby gets bigger there is lots more activity, enjoy!

Honestly at 17/18 weeks not a ton of movement. My doctor didnt even ask me at that point if i had felt the baby yet. Im now almost 23 weeks and feel Chat Icon alot. In a few more weeks your really going to start feeling your baby. Dont worry baby is fineChat Icon

I find that he moves a lot at night when Im sitting down. Some days he moves like crazy other days hes calm and quiet. It's hard not to worry but try not to. I know how you feel. Im just over 25 weeks.

17-18 weeks especially for a first baby you may not feel him as frequently as you would like. I remember at that point I didn't feel DS that much just here and there, now at 32 weeks I feel him all the time. Once he gets bigger you will feel him everyday, several times a day

Re: Baby's movement 17-18 weeks

I didnt feel much at that point. I really dont think I felt anything. I started feeling movement around 20 weeks, and consisent movement around 23-24 weeks.

At this point, it's so early, so you wont be feeling constant movement or movent every day...that's not till 24 weeks.

I know it's hard, but try not to panic!!! This drove me nuts, and I really loved when I was able to feel her every day, but you're not at that point yet!
