Decrease in baby movement Posted: 04-14-08 10:32am
Hey ladies I need some guidance. I have a
feeling that I may be worrying for nothing
but still you can never be too careful.
Im am 19 weeks tomorrow and I have felt
the baby move for the past 2 weeks.
Usually about 10 times throughout the day,
lot of times less. Its usually when I am
sitting at my desk at work. Well on
Saturday I didnt feel him move at all.
Like not even once. Last night I did feel
him move when I was laying flat on my
belly (which is getting a little harder to
do...lol) So I know hes still swimming in
there, but is it normal for their
movements to decrease that much and that
suddenly? I have an appointment on Monday
so I will bring it up then but should I do
it sooner?
Is it just cause the baby is still very
small? the kicks are still very very
faint. Also my belly has been sore like
if I did 200 sit ups. Like I feel it when
I move and stretch. Its like my muscles
are flexed all the time. Is this just my
belly expanding?
Thanks guys. This is my 1st so I have lots
of questions.

Yes. Actually, it is unusual that you felt
movement so early and so repetively.
Usually there isn't a lot of movement felt
until 20 + weeks. It isn't odd that you
aren't feeling a lot of movement now.
Your stomach soreness is from your stomach
muscles and ligaments stretching. You'll
hear a lot (from your doctor too) about
round ligaments pains. It is very common
in pregnancy.

ok thanks for the encouragement. I do feel
better. Like I said I was prolly worrying
more than I needed to. its just weird
having a moving living human being in
their. LOL
The movements are very faint and somedays
its only once or twice. But im also
surprised I have felt anything this soon
too. I was told not to expect anything for
awhile either.
