    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.

    The Dr will be able to have a feel and listen to the heartbeat tomorrow... you won't need to wait until the ultrasound. Try not to worry, I know that is easier said then done xx

    I know it's a late reply HotI, but I saw my dr on Monday afternoon & asked her the same thing. Is was feeling movements at 14 weeks with this one, then nothing for a week or two, then I go a day or two without anything. I also have an anterior placenta. She said they don't tell people to worry about counting kicks til 24 weeks for this precise reason. When they're smaller & particularly when your placenta is anterior, movements are rarely noticeable. I've just realised this week that drinking Ribena works my baby up... Had a glass with dinner & bub is having a party right now. It's only been this week that I've felt movement every day.
