Movements

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.

Thank you for all your replies,

I also want to ask another Q

My movement were very noticable earlier this week and now are non exsistant or very weak, does this mean anything?

Thanks xx

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

Hi Loula,

I remember having this question and worry with my 1st 2 pregnancies and from what I have read it is quite normal and just another thing for us to worry about, but quite normal.

I think they just get in to different positions and placenta takes up a bit of space and sometimes we're not as 'switched' on to the movements at different times of the day and might not notice something that could still pass as wind.

Hope I was helpful..

I found with my kids they moved into different spots when they had the space and so you might not feel them much for a while if they had moved back. Erin used to "hide" from Daniel and you'd swear she'd popped over to another uterus LOL
