Baby movements

[Lilly86]

Hi looking for some advice and hopefully my mind to be put to rest. I think I felt baby move last week. It felt like a small flip in my stomach but I've felt nothing since. I'm 19 weeks on Sunday and heard the heart beat at 16 weeks but now I'm freaking out. I just can't stop trying to feel movements and my midwife said once you start you should feel them everyday. I'm not a slim girl a size 14-16. Is there anything I can do to get my little one to move an reassure me? Currently sat here downing OJ in the hope something will happen. Not sure i can carry on like this til 1st Oct for next scan. Thanks all x

Hi OP - try not to worry yourself, it is not uncommon to be over 20 weeks to not feel baby move, especially in your first pregnancy, I'm a similar size to you but to be honest your outer size shouldn't matter as you will feel baby move on the inside first without being able to feel it on the outside. If you are really really worried then ring the number in your white book, they will get you an appointment to see someone.
