Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

I know it's been posted before but it makes me so nervous...from yesterday to today i really haven't felt any activity. The weekend it consistent and so far this week not much it always makes me worry! Sorry just venting!

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

I haven't felt yet! I think we are only a few weeks apart, but from what I have read, but most do not feel everyday movement until at least in the mid-20 week range

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

Yes... this happened to me. I have an anteria placenta so didn't really feel the baby till about 23 weeks and it's very sporadic. Almost feels like the baby hangs out in the back or something. He/She is pretty quiete and just turns a lot. Not a big kicker.
I also noticed when I do a lot, go away or change my schedule a bit I don't feel the baby as much. I'm 33 weeks and feel the baby a lot more now, but sometimes for hours I can go without feeling and know it's ok.

OK I am 19 weeks and I have been feeling the baby for the past week. I guess my thoughts just scatter when I can't feel move around!

Your still really early to feel the baby all the time, i started feeling at 16 weeks, and i felt him on and off for weeks, once i hit 24 weeks i felt him every day. No at 26 weeks, he must have gotten alot bigger and stronger b/c i can feel him turning in my stomach, and i saw either a foot or a hand move across my belly. I wouldnt worry at all, in the next few weeks your not gonna believe how much she is gonna move.

Thanks!! It's comforting to hear this, you know how paranoid you can get.

You have to remember too, when you sleep the could be moving around and you wouldn't notice it then.

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

Yes, I'm 21 wks today and some days I feel him very sporadically and other days he is very active...plus I think he is more active at night...I can't wait to feel him all the time...it's hard not to worry!

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

i ususally feel at night when im relaxing hardly during the day we are just now feeling movement from the outside i am at 24 weeks

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

I am 19 weeks and just started to feel the baby last week. It only happens once in a while for me, like twice a day...for a few seconds. I think it is normal.

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

I am 25 weeks and unless I am relaxed and paying attention, I rarely notice the movements (unless she gives me a big kick which she does about once a day)

I think it's normal

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

Very normal... I'm 24 weeks and while I have some days with crazy movement, there are others where I barely feel her at all... a few weeks ago the days where I didn't feel her were much more frequent

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

I had the same worries around your point in pregnancy. I used my doppler if too much time passed between movements. I also went a few days without feeling her at one point and went to my OB. He did a NST (non-stress test) and everything was fine.

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

i am 26 weeks and i rarely feel the baby, but the doctor says i'm fine. i really think it varies person to person, your body type and size and like outside the womb, some kids are more active than others....

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

Yes, you are at that ealry period where you probably wont feel all through out the day every day. I am 26 weeks Friday and didnt start feeling constant movement until like 1-2 weeks ago.

Of corse if you are ever concerned you should call your OB. But I am sure its ok.

Re: Can you go for days without feeling the baby?

There are definitely 1 or 2 days here and there where I don't feel baby
