Should I Be Worried That I Have Not Felt Lot of Movement Yet
Posted: 09-23-06 12:30pm
I am about 21 weeks 3 days and I really have not felt alot of movement....I had a drs appt on the 20th and it took him a long time to find the babys hb.....And he was asking me questions about movement and everything I am still feeling "something" which has to be the baby moving but I cant be a 100% sure and I am just freaking out cause of all the problems that I have had in recent years trying to get pregnant... At the end of the appt he said that everything was fine and told me to book for a month for my next prenatal so I guess I should not be worried right

thanks for all your help and advice

At 21 weeks, it still kinda iffy to wheter you're feeling movements or gassiness.

There is a website that has a "kick count chart" that can help you determine how many times a day you feel it. Not many people have time to do this....But if you want to know if movement is irregular...Call your doctor with the results!

I'm sure things are fine!!

Yeah... This early in your pregnancy, its hard to tell.. Trust me.

Plus, if its your first, you dont really know what to look or feel for. Give it a few more weeks. I didnt feel my sons kicks or flutters til about 25-26 weeks. I felt my daughters around 16 since shes number 2.

Babies have their on and off moments.. At times in the pegnancy they'll sleep more often than not due to growth spurts.

I wouldnt worry.. Try referring to a kick count chart. Mine for 33 weeks says to feel 10 in 2 hours... She kicks 10 times in about 15 minutes lol so I dont worry.
