Baby hasn't been active Posted: 05-11-08 12:25pm
Since 16 weeks exactly he's been moving
pretty consistantly.
He'd been mostly active in the morning
from 6-10 am.
I am now 17 weeks and 4 days.
Yesterday I felt only about 4 movements
the entire day.
Today, being up since 8 am & it being 10,
I have felt none.
Should I be worried? Or is it too early
for him to be consistant?

I think it's still too early to really be
worried. The baby is still pretty small
and REALLY needs to punch and kick for you
to feel. If you want drink some Juice and
see if that get em movin.

when i started feeling consistent movement
from the baby, i was at like 20weeks i
think the baby is still small to be
consistently active.
At 20weeks, you feel the baby kick,
wiggle, switch positions, punch...and it
becomes alot more frequent in the
movements.
The baby isn't always going to move as
much too, there are days when the baby
moves less than others, and then the next
day is really hyper.
But wait till around 20weeks, you'll feel
alot more.

If you're worried, drink some orange juice
and lay on your side. You should be able
to feel him after half an hour or so.

Personally I would not be worried... you
can mention it to your doctor if youd
like... but even with me I felt movement
at 14 and 17 weeks then it stopped until
mid 20s

im 34 wks and my baby doesnt move
consistently every day, some days ill
barely feel baby move at all and others
he/she doesnt stop! i think also if youre
run down it can affect babys movements,
but dont quote me on that one.

at 34weeks, the baby does not have very
much room to move around seeing that your
getting much closer to your due date,
which is why he/she isn't moving as much
as he/she used to.

I had the same thing, exactly! But when I
went to my sono on friday he was moving
like crazy but I wasnt feeling it, so I
think its just because they are still so
small. Don't worrie .
