    i wouldn't stress too much, with baby #3 for me, i didnt feel baby moving properly and regularly until i was about 23 weeks. and that was baby #3!! you'd think i would have felt him earlier. it depends on where your placenta is, sometimes that can mask baby's movements until they get a bit bigger and stronger.

    all the best for your scan!

    Hey hungry,

    I totally understand I first felt my baby move at 17 weeks but even to this day it isn't a regular thing (Today she is very quiet). I read that some babies are naturally more active hence personality etc then others cos they could be chilled out bubs.

    If your scan went good then your bub maybe a chilled out lil fella or you may have different times when he moves eg: When your a sleep he is podding around in there Either way if I do get worried I either do light exercise or drink a cuppa tea which in most cases does the trick When I lay down I first lay on my side then roll onto my back for a minute and usually that helps too.

    Congrates on the lil boy too

    I didn't feel anything till DS1 was 26 weeks (low lying anterior placenta), DS2 was 24 weeks before I felt him move.
