Hello I feel a bit silly asking as this is my 5th but it was different with my other pregnancies,i always felt them earlier & i have only just started to feel anything at all with this one.I am 21 weeks at present & i do feel some movement occasionally but not very much at all.I might feel one or 2 soft movements during the day (like a little tap or a pressure/whirling sort of movement) & then maybe a few more later at night once i'm sitting quietly on the lounge.The woman at the ultrasound said the thickest part of my placenta was right at the front,would this make a difference? I'm 37 & weigh more now than with my last one also.I usually carry in the back but this time i feel like i'm definitely carrying in front.Would these things make any difference do you think? I would appreciate any assurance you can give me Oh also the 3 scans i have had(9 weeks,13 weeks ,19 weeks) havn't showed any problems & at the 19 week scan the heart was fine & he has been moving around fine at all the scans ,i just couldn't feel it The Ob & the midwives have had a bit of trouble finding his heartbeat anytime they have looked with the doppler.Last time the Ob tried he just couldn't get it at all .I asked if that meant there was a problem he said no & that it was fine on the scan(the day before) so he didn't bother to keep looking. Am i just worrying for nothing or is it abnormal to not get a lot of movement at this stage sometimes?
TIA for anything you can tell me & thanks for listening
