Tenar, same here. I am not even completely sure it was the baby that I felt, but it happened a few times then stopped and now nothing for the last 4 days. Maybe he/she is just pointing the other way for a bit????
hey tenar,
i felt bub move for the first time after my 20 week ultrasound. i had felt slight flutters since around 19 weeks but they were few and far in between. now i'm 21/22 weeks i've felt the baby move nearly every night, so i imagine this is very normal.
i too was a little concerned when it was days in between movement but have read this was normal and now it's everyday i can feel them.
I felt our baby kick for the first time at 17w6d really strong and then just little flutters afterwards, which kind of freaked me out too. Dont' worry though i put it down to the baby is still small and needs to be in a certain position for it to really feel like a kick/ punch.
i find that if i've been really busy during the day and haven't had a chance to sit down much, once i go to bed to go to sleep it fires up - i put my hand down low and stay still and talk to DP and it usually gives a few kicks - but can take awhile cos it might be asleep. also drink super cold water or have a bowl of cereal (my fave midnight snack) or icecream - haha that will wake it up.
We have another ultrasound booked next week, so I am officially putting off worrying about baby until after that (well, as much as I can manage, anyway). Hopefully it'll show that all is well and hopefully I'll be feeling regular movements by then anyway.
