Im 20 weeks pregnant and first felt baby move about 2 weeks ago. I dont think I have felt it move for 2/3 days now and Im really starting to worry. I have my 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon so I know its not long to wait but just wanted to hear a few thoughts from other folks.

Try not to worry, the baby may have moved into a different position making you less likely to feel it. Have you tried either drinking some ice cold water or some full fat coke - that can get the baby wriggling away.

Good luck for you scan tomorrow

I'm 21 weeks pregnant - some days its like I have a rugby team in there, others nothing at all for what seems like days! (Normally days when I'm busy.) It was the same with the first one..........

Thanks,
Tried the cold water thing yesterday but TBH I was getting ready for work and in a bit of a rush so didn`t have time to lie down and wait. Will try something sugary today!
Thanks again

Just thought I`d update this in case anyone with similar worries reads this thread.
Went to my 20 week scan yesterday and saw we that we were expecting a perfect, healthy, wriggly little boy. Funnily enough - now my mind is at ease I can feel him moving again!
