I was the same when i was at that stage in pregnancy, well maybe a week or so later, when i was 19 weeks i phoned the hospital n told em i not felt any movements in a while an they told me to go in, they listened to HB an everything was fine. If u can hear the heart beat on ur monitor, dont worry an if u still worry ring the midwife, they will be able to put ur mind at rest.... but dont worry its not good for baby.... also eat lots of chocolate... that is really good for making a happy baby! It worked for me an i dont normally even like chocolate but now im gonna eat it in every pregnancy i have coz im sure thats why my baby is so good lol x Oh yeah also drink pommegranite juice once a day, increases blood suply from u to baby so is defo good .... sorry i know i just babbled on about crap u didnt ask about there, but ahhhhhhhh i couldnt help myself! ha ha! Good luck! (and im sure everything is just fine so dont worry) xx Yeah quite normal dont worry, maybe ur placenta is at the front, also the baby is only teeny tiny at the moment and so the movements arent so strong.

I had a day at 23 weeks where my son didn't move as much as other days and I went in and they said not to worry about movement really till 28 weeks when you start to do kick counts.

I really didn't feel too much until I was about 20 weeks. At 17 weeks, I also was trying to feel it. I couldn't tell the difference between fetal movement and gas bubbles, lol. At your next doctor appt, they will most likely listen to heartbeat as well. If you heard the heartbeat, your baby is alive and probably just cant feel the movements yet. Try not to stress, as your baby may be able to feel your stress. The movement will def. get stronger!! Good luck!

You probably won't notice your baby's active and resting patterns for many more weeks. It is recommended that you begin doing "kick counts" at 28 weeks. Kick counting is where you pick a certain time of day (it's best to do them the same time each day) and count the amount of time it takes for you to feel 10 fetal movements. My OB said I should feel 10 within one hour (I usually felt them in much much less time) Yes, it’s very normal. You probably won’t notice your baby’s active and resting patterns for many more weeks.
