ok so im pretty sure i have felt my baby move around in there (im almost 19 weeks) but i cant be sure, there has def been a few times in the last few weeks where i KNEW that was wat it was. BUT its not as often as i would like LOL and what if what i ws feeling wasnt it?
is there something wrong with my baby?
the longer it takes for you to feel your baby kick (ie. if you dont feel it until after 19-20 weeks) does this mean there is something wrong?
i am very paranoid i know.. but i cant help it
thanks guys xxx
Well I didn't feel any movement with DS1 until I was around 21-22 weeks and there was NOTHING wrong with him! He more than made up for it once I could feel him LOL! He was born a very healthy active baby
If this is your first baby you will quite likely not feel anything until the 20 week mark.
And although they say you can feel it sooner with later babies, I didn't feel anything definite this time until 19-20 weeks. Bubs hardly stops now!
Not feeling anything definite yet doesn't mean anything is wrong, just normal.
Also, keep in mind bubs position, the position of the placenta, what you tummy muscles are like.... all sorts of things can influence how much you feel.
I felt DS at 18 weeks but in saying that I could only feel him when I wore pants with a tight waist band or a belt. Not any other time. When I could full on feel him and DH could feel him I was about 21 weeks.
Thanks Guys!!
yeah, this is my first baby. i guess coz i am a little on the smaller side, and my bump is quite noticeable i just kind of assumed that i should have felt it already!!!
I have my 19 week scan in 3 days, im sure that will put my mind at ease!!
My younger sister is pg with her first too, and she has a similar worry - the other day she asked me, she had read somewhere she should feel bubs move every hour? NOT true.... anyway my point is, it's normal to worry about them... and it doesn't get any better sorry to say!
I felt DD from 16 weeks and come week 19 I stopped feeling her and freaked out BIG time, went to the Dr, all was well. He told me, 'the prob with feeling something too early is you think you know too much!' lol So in other words had I not got so ude to feeling her I prob wouldn't have worried. Most people with their first won't feel them until 20-23 weeks. My auntie was 24 weeks before she felt her first, and my cousin is bright as a button, just perfect.
So normal to worry during preg, its only cuz you want the best for your little creation!!!
Take it easy and enjoy the second half of your preg (almost there!), it goes far too quickly!!! Come the end of your pg you'll be begging your bub to calm down and give you a break from all the kicking and pushing! hehehe
babies movements..
LOL and what if what i ws feeling wasnt it?
