I started to feel my son move at about 20 weeks. It was not that often then it became more regular. But now I am sick and I don't feel him move as often, is this normal? Please let me know, thank you for your advice.

Please don't stress or make yourself sick! You never said how far along you are. Sometimes towards the end of your pregnancy youwill not feel th baby kick andd move that much as where does the baby have space to move around and kick. If you are that concerned please go to your dr and get things checked out as I am not a dr and no one can tell you what is going on except for your Dr. Try to think positive!
All the best to you and yours!
Let us know what you find out!

I am 21 weeks and 3 days. Thank you for responding, this is my first child and I just need advice sometimes. I came accross this site and thought it was really cool that there are women out there helping one another. I am trying not to stress that is why I just wanted to ask, cuz I really don't know what to expect and what is normal. So thank you for your help I will be in touch. I will ask my dr to see what she says thank you again.

really? I'm 29 weeks and i'm feeling him more than ever. It seems like he never rests. 2 weeks ago he was head down and then at my last appointment a couple days ago he'd turned sideways/diagonal, my doctor said not to worry about it because he still had plenty of room to move and would most likely turn head down again. I didn't think they ran out of room until much closer to the end.

To the original poster- I wouldn't be too concerned. You just started feeling him move and it might not be a constant or predictable thing yet. When I first started feeling my baby it was about 21 weeks and there would be times where I didn't feel him for 2 days or so. Ask your doctor but i'm sure everything is fine. Oh, and depending on what kind of sick you are, make sure you don't get dehydrated!
