Question 1

now 20 weeks, i felt baby move @17th week. and daily feeling baby only once or twice strong(few days light) when i take rest, is it normal at this stage?

Accepted Answer

Probably : At this stage the baby is still very small and you might not feel many of the movements. There is still plenty of room inside the uterus so movements are not felt as strongly. As the baby gets larger and there is less room the movements are felt more. If you ever have a concern your provider can easily confirm the heartbeat is adequate. You may be able to stimulate by playing music.

Question 2

16wks4days pregnant with 2nd baby.  still haven't felt baby move. should i be worried? when do women normally feel movement?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry: There is a lot of variation as to when women first feel their babies move.  Usually it's between 16-20 weeks, and usually a little later for first pregnancies than subsequent pregnancies.

Question 3

im 13 weeks pregnant and havent felt baby move . ?

Accepted Answer

Fetal movement ?: At a documented "13 w" of pregnancy (ultrasound and menstrual dates), fetal movement is not generally felt until the 15-16th week in most cases. To be certain, contact your OB physician for a pelvic ultrasound to confirm fetal heart activity.

Question 4

Contact your ob: Please contact your OB ASAP. Very concerning that your baby's movements have decreased. You also may be experiencing contractions.

A bit early : The perception of fetal movement begins  around week 20. Most can feel about five movements  per hour. If you want to confirm all is ok then schedule a visit with your obgyn.

Question 6

OB: Fetal movements are normal, but if there is pain, contractions or bleeding, please see the ED.
Watch for these signs. Follow up with your physician.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you have felt no baby movement over the course of days or in your case months, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately in order to have an examination of the baby's heart rate and presence.

Question 8

hi there pregnant with second child am 18 weeks and haven't felt the baby move yet should i be worried ?

Accepted Answer

No: It is not uncommon for a woman not to feel fetal movement by 18 weeks gestation.  There are many reasons for this.  I wouldn't worry about it yet.

Question 9

i haven't felt my baby move like regular all day im 36 weeks  should i have a non stress test?

Accepted Answer

Ask your OB: You really need to speak to your ob.  If the answer is not satisfactory, express that the answer is not addressing your concerns.  If no more info is forthcoming, seek a second opinion from another ob.  Do not deal with this on a message board.

Question 10

i am 24weeks and i haven't felt my baby move in 3days should i be worried ? when will movement be consistent ? me being emotional and crying the prob?

Accepted Answer

No movement 24 end: this frequently happens about this time. There is enough amniotic fluid around the fetus thatseveral days may go by without feeling a kick, although plenty of movement is occurring. Tell your OB about your concern and a quick ultrasound would relieve your fears.
