Fetal Movement at 18wks

[pinkbella]

HI Ladies,

I was hoping someone could help me ease my mind a little...

I am 18 weeks pregnant and felt bubs move about 4-5 days ago when i'm laying down on my back usually after dinner, a cold drink or something sweet.
Anyway, last night I didn't really feel anything and either this morning. Could there be something wrong or at this early on are the movements irregular? I even tried a cold sweet cordial and still nothing!
This is my first baby and i probably sound like a worry wart but I just want to make sure baby is okay in there... I wish baby would just move for me! :(

some people feel little movements but nothing really big till after 20wks with their first bub if you are concerned maybe pop in to see your doc to hear the heart beat.

Hi there dont worry to much.. with dd i could feel her all day every day from 18 weeks. Im currently 21 or 22 weeks. Stoped counting lol. and i still havent had a movement only one kick and thats it. I was worrying like you i got a u/s and bub is okay could be that he is a lot less active then what his sister was.
Should be all fine. Wait until your about 35 weeks and it feels like you have a little alien in you moving around all the time and that wants to kick your insides out lol..

Hi Bella,

I am 21 weeks (bub number 1) and still don't feel regular movements.

I asked my OB at my last appointment and she said that it is quite normal not to feel regular movements or establish any kind of sleeping / awake pattern until at least 25 to 30 weeks.

There are some days where bubs moves alot, and today I don't think I have felt bubs at all.

So don't worry! :)
