20 ish weekers, do you feel the baby everyday

[zarapipe]

I just started feeling last week due to a anterior placenta. I haven't felt the baby yesterday or today. I thought I felt something once but I wasn't sure. Last week I definately knew what it was because it was strong and it was a couple times a day. Of course I'm freaking out.

No I didn't. I feel her everyday now at 24 weeks

[FastHands]

Nope. 22w4d. I also had a distinct period of a few consecutive days with no movement not long after I started feeling him, which made me really nervous at the time. I had an appt soon thereafter, and hb was fine and she said the "static" on the doppler was him moving around so no worries.

I feel him most days now, but not regularly through the day. Usually the only time I feel much of anything is when I lay down to go to sleep, and even then just a couple of taps. And I went a couple of days last week without even that.

I was just about 24 weeks before I felt her on a regular basis and I also had an anterior placenta.

I will be 22 weeks tomorrow. I feel movement once in awhile. Mostly pressure on my cervix/bladder. The last ultrasound showed him moving all over & jumping on my cervix.

I would say it's only in the past two weeks that I feel the baby consistently every day now. I'm 25w3d.

I am 22 weeks and am now feeling her move daily but it's also my 5th baby so I think everything is a little more stretched out/thin allowing me to feel more than I would my first or second pregnancy.

I'm 20 weeks and while I've been feeling her move some it's not every day. My OB told me not to worry about it--in a few weeks, I'll feel her move and kick more consistently. There have been a few days this week I haven't felt her move at all. I just had my a/s and they said everything is normal, so I'm not worried about it.

I'm 22 weeks and I feel her briefly most days. I wish I had a Doppler at home just for reassurance on the days I don't though.

No. I have an anterior placenta and didn't feel movement every day until 23-25 weeks.

Another anterior placenta, and just was feeling an occasional kick at 20 weeks. I was probably 24 or so before I'd feel her once a day, and further than that to have consistency. My doctor said that 20 weeks to feel any movement (even without an anterior placenta) is average, so a week or so here or there is okay.

Normal. I don't have an anterior placenta, and I still wasn't feeling him consistently until about 22 weeks.

i have an anterior placenta too and didn't feel anything until 22 weeks. it wasn't consistent really, and still isn't i'd say now either. as someone said above, i would feel movement mostly at night when lying down before sleeping. i would push/tap on/giggle my stomach and baby would usually respond back with a few taps/bumps. i pretty much did this every night until i felt something for reassurance. now i still don't feel all that much during the day, but i think it's because i'm so busy and not ever really just sitting down. when i finally get to sit down at night i feel movement, and usually again in the quiet time before sleeping too.

I do. But I'm on my 3rd.

My first had an anterior placenta. I was not sure I was even feeling movements until my ultrasound, and that wasn't until 22ish weeks.

I have days where the baby is so active that you would swear I introduced it to coffee, red bull and sugar cubes at once, and then I will have 3 days of me wondering whether I imagined the baby moving. I am hoping it is going to become a regular thing soon.

[zarapipe]

I felt the baby a bit today thankfully. Not A Lot But Enough To Feel Something. Thanks for all the replies!

[missanne]

I'm 22+2 & am just starting to feel daily. It's mostly when I'm laying down.

[sewpinkgal]

I had an anterior placenta with DS1 and didn't even really feel him at all until almost 22w. He moved a ton on u/s, but I couldn't feel it. Even then, it was light and sporadic. I obviously don't have one this time, because I've been feeling strong pops/kicks every day since 17w and since 20w, they have been on a consistent pattern during the day.

I think the anterior placenta can mute movement quite a bit.
