Feeling awfully worried! What can I do to feel my bub's movements?

[~*Niadalla*~]

No idea, but bubs is so well cushioned in there.
I feel over at aroun 37weeks, and we freaked a little, but luckily I was far enough along to feel movements.
I kind of know how you feel, as I have been spotting on and off for 4 weeks and saw my bub 2 weeks ago, but have this constant worry that bubs is in danger in my belly. I am def someone who overthinks things though. LOL

If it does make you feel better, I would suggest going to see your OBS or GP. At least they may be able to give you a quick scan for peice of mind.

Other than that, I have no idea. 'Try' not to worry (haha I know, sure...), and look after yourself.

I'm sure bubs is just kicking around in there without a worry in the world.

The other day my sister was telling me that she hadn't felt her baby move all day, and she was freaking out - so she ate heaps of sugar! I laughed at her, but she said pretty soon bubs was very active!!

I'm not sure how it would work at 13 weeks though - have you felt the baby move before?

And I agree - bubs is VERY well padded in there - probably didn't even notice!

I'd say bub will be fine, at that stage baby is so small and well protected by the uterus and the surrounds that small falls like that wouldn't affect baby.

That being said, I know how scary it is not to feel baby and I highly doubt you will get baby to move for you by eating anything at that gestation. My advice if you're really worried to see your GP (most GP's wont do heartbeat checks until after 20 weeks as it can be very difficult to get and just make Mum worry more if no luck), or go to the hospital where you will be having baby and ask them to get bub's hb on a doppler (call first to make sure its not super busy and its OK for you to go at that gestation).

Best of luck

Bubs will be fine, but my advice is to buy a doppler from ebay. Very reassuring to hear that heartbeat whnever you want!

Bubs will be fine. My SIL fell flat on her face further on during pregnancy and all was OK. There is nothing you can do to feel movements this early.

hi

Try not to worry, bubs will be fine.
I fell with one pregnancy at 37 weeks onto bump and all was well, with this pregnancy had a really bad fall in the bath at about 10 weeks, straight onto belly and hit it so hard I almost blacked out, but all was well at the next scan a few weeks later.
They are well protected hardy little things!
Take care,

im pretty sure baby is well procted in there. i skidded on my tummy last month at around 14weeks after being hit by a wave @ the beach and got slammed into the sand. went to see my OB at my 16week appointment and saw that bubba was fine... it was hard at that time too coz it was too early to feel movement.
