Like the other have said bubs is still small and has lots of room in there to move around in there, so perfectly normal to go days without feeling any movement.
I first felt bubs really early but on & off, I have the placenta at the front as well so I didn't feel the real strong regular movements until about 25-26 weeks and before this would go days without feeling anything and would always panic something was wrong.
Now as much as I love feeling it move around in there, I also complain that I would like a break sometimes, especially as I'm trying to fall asleep at night and it does it's bit to get comfy in there too
oh my gosh i am sooo happy i found this thread lol!
i first felt kicks at around 12 weeks with this bubba and then the whole belly moving thang from then on until, well, a few days ago, and now bubs is quiet as a mouse...and of course, what with m/s gone and no movement i am stressing lol! but i am assuming that bubba is more towards the back ATM as i dont actually feel them (i have been able to poke my belly and make bubs out...and then feel it wriggle away lol).
Current bubs i was lucky enough to feel at around 13 weeks, because it did not approve of the ultrasound that was being completed and did a big kick pushing the sonographers hand right off my belly. After that I didn't feel any more for weeks,
now the little blighter doesn't stop and should be getting the much needed rest for it's big journey
I found the cold water/ice cream ect never worked until much later in pregnancy when the baby was much higher up.
I started feeling movements around the same time as you and they would tend to be at the same time during the day, and yes I would go a day or so without noticing a movement.
At around 24 weeks though if I felt nothing I would gently push around my belly til I got a movement.
I didn't actually feel any movement at all until about 2 weeks ago and then he was kicking me for about 3 days straight.
I also got worried when I couldn't feel him move for a day or two but sure enough, the next day he was back again doing some dancing or something in there.
It could be that bub has just moved into a different spot where you can't feel it... Completely normal when they're still so small. Bubby could still very well be kicking away like mad, but possibly into your back or something that you just wont feel as yet.
Happened with both of mine, with my first I really freaked out and went to my Dr who did a scan and bub was kicking away, it had just moved, thats all.
It really doesn't matter how hard or soft the kicks are and feeling the kicks as the other ladies have said can come and go for days at this stage.
I wish you all the very best with the second half of your pregnancy. xx
