Movement at 19 weeks

[stategirl08]

It's normal to have some days where I don't feel a lot of movement at this point right? I'm just worried bc Tuesday and Wednesday it was like the kid was having a dance party most of the day and yesterday and today I haven't felt a ton.

I'm figuring it's probably ok since the baby isn't that big yet but just want to be reassured.

I am 21 weeks and still barely feel movement most of the time, but I also have an anterior placenta. Even without that though, the doc said he's so small that he just isn't able to get the right force for me to really feel it yet. I don't know what week you "should" be feeling consistent movement, but I'm pretty sure it's not for a while still.

It was totally normal for me. At 19 weeks I would feel movement some days, but some days I wouldn't.

Thanks ladies. And of course now that I posted this and drank some ice water I've felt little taps .

I have found that juice tends to wake him up sometimes Although most of the times when I feel him move is when I'm just sitting in the recliner and he out of nowhere decides to flip around, haha.

I'm 21 weeks today and I still have to stop and think about if I've felt movement. Some day's I feel alot and others I barely feel a thing. It's perfectly normal at this point to not feel consistant movement.

Yes! This kid is most active in the evenings when I'm stretched out on the couch. It's started doing this move that feels like a fish flipping around, super weird. We find out what it is tomorrow, can't wait to not have to call it IT anymore!

Totally normal at that point. They shift into positions where you don't feel much, then shift back. They're pretty small still! Even now at 26 weeks she gets quiet for a few hours here and there. It's not a concern.

I agree it is normal. Even now at 25 weeks, if I am busy doing something I don't notice the little bumps and nudges so much and feel the babies more often when I am sitting or laying.

I'm 20 weeks and don't feel much most days. He seems to like the car and waffles and I feel him a lot then, ha!

I have an anterior placenta and am heavy which are both supposed to reduce feelings from what I've read.

Dr Google said it's normal to not feel a lot until 25 weeks even.

stategirl08 I'm still trying to get used to not saying "it" or just "baby", haha. I try to force myself to say he/him but it's a hard habit to break!

Yes, totally normal! I didn't feel consistent movement every day until close to 27-28 weeks. I asked about it at my 24 week appt and the dr said it was normal. I was so jealous of people who felt consistent movement before that, but I always measured on track or a little ahead, so my dr wasn't concerned.

I'm 20w4d and have felt little movements less than 10 times. But at my scan this week he was moving all over.

Don't worry, it's normal
