How much did you/do you feel your baby move at 22 weeks? I felt him move quite often and quite strong over the last week and now im lucky if i feel the odd jab or nudge and it has worried me a little!

I'm nearly 22 weeks and find that there isn't a pattern to baby's movements. Some days it's very wriggly, others much more quiet so i hardly feel it. Today is a quiet day and I like to think it s relaxing like I am. I think this is normal as the baby changes positions etc, but perhaps you could ask your midwife when you next see him/her?

I see my midwife in 2 weeks so will do then, was just wondering if it would be something to be concerned about at this stage. Ive just gotten so used to all that reassuring movement and want it to carry on ha ha! Xx

I'm at the same stage as you and also sometimes have moments when I think I haven't felt baby move in a while. Usually a little tummy rubbing and trying to focus 'in" on it is follwed by a kick or two.

I'm the same as you, 22 weeks and last week I was in a panic as hadn't felt baby move for a day or two. All was fine tho, got lots of useful advice on here and from friends.
Apparently at this stage of pregnancy baby has so much room to move about it isn't unusual to not feel it. I got told to have a warm drink followed by something cold and see if that helps.
If in doubt tho never ignore it xx

Your baby still has time to hide at that stage so I really wouldn't worry. But MWs are there to give peace of mind, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you rang to check.

I'm 24 Wks and i still have a mixture of quiet days and then days where there is lots of kicking Grin
