    when to worry if you not feeling movements?

    The more I have the harder it has been to feel them. Apparently because they have more room inside, so their movements are less constricted and therefore less forceful.

    plenty of room in my tummy, and an anterior placenta, so iy sounds like it's not too out of the norm to not be feeling it yet.

    I had just heard that you feel it earlier each time, and it wasn't happening for me.

    thank you for reassurance

    This is my 3rd pregnancy, and at 18 weeks (with my first anterior placenta mind you) I lost movement. A quick trip to ED and I was put straight into birthsuite to check for a heart rate. All was well, and I was reassured that babe was ok. Like the other two, this one has awake and sleeping times.
    Because you're still relatively early, try giving baby a good poke, otherwise, nothing beats peace of mind, its truly priceless xx

    1st pregnancy - 17 weeks.
    2nd pregnancy - 24 weeks
    3rd pregnancy - 22 weeks
    4th pregnancy - 22 weeks
    5th pregnancy - 18 weeks

    Does that help?

    I'm currently 19 weeks in my first pregnancy, the baby started moving about a week ago and i would feel it move everyday but now i barely feel the baby move, sometimes a day or two goes by and i dont feel anything. Is this normal?

    when are you due for a checkup?? All babies are different with their moving. If you have an inkling something is not ok, I would go with that and get checked out.

    I only felt my third baby move a couple of times before 22 weeks. Both of the others were around the 17 week mark.
