Questions & Answers

I feel my daughter move mostly at night when I'm laying on my back or side. other than that I don't really feel her very much yet, I'm 19 w 4 d. My dr told me it's just because she still has quite a bit of room in there and she may be in a spot where I don't feel her, and to expect to feel all her movement about 23-25 weeks.

I've had the same thing, one day this kid will be active and then for a day or two afterwords I can just feel it a little bit here and there then when I'm really worried and thinking about calling the doctor the kids back to being active again.

I freaked out about this with Liam too at about the same week also. There was a day or two where I didn't feel him at all. but then I was reminded that they still have quite a bit of room to move around in there so you may not be feeling him/her for example if he/she is facing your back you won't feel the movements as much. Also if you have an anterior placental placement you won't feel anything either. I think this is why most doctors don't have you start kick counting until 26-28 weeks. I went a few days worrying because even the usual drinking of cold water was not working but then a day or two later he started moving like crazy again... BUT.. its always better to be safe than sorry and if your concerned at all. There is never any harm in calling your doctor and expressing your concern. At the very least they will be able to ease your mind or have you come in for a doppler reading. :)
