    Fetal Movemement- When to worry ?

    OK, this is going to sound paranoid especially to everyone desperetly waiting for bubs to move.

    When do I start worrying about lack of movement.

    I HAVE had it since 19 weeks and she was kicking me a great deal just days ago, but then I am back to light might not even be there flutters.

    Usually her timing is quite regular as to when she kicks as in morning, lunchtime, and bed time. She also has a kick sometimes when I have a hot drink too.

    why would it decrease? is 3 days time enough to start worrying? or could she just be busy growing?
    could my uterous have had a growth spurt and hence she has more room right now??

    I can't say I have not 100% felt her cause I think there has been some light flutters.

    If you are worried a glass of ice cold water might work, or else ring your midwife for peace of mind.

    They say that as the weeks go by you can feel them more and more, but in the early stages (16-25 weeks) you might not feel them for days!

    If you are worried, pop in to your midwife for a check to put your mind at ease. The unnecessary worry for bubs is worst than persevering for the sake of it.

    Remember, some women don't even feel their bubs til 22 weeks and beyond, so it is still early days,

    Good luck!

    DD - i find with my princess that sometimes she will be quieter for a couple of days in between periods where she has been super active all day for a few days in a row.. and then i thought she must be sleeping and resting in those days between from wearing herself out?
