Reduced movement at 19 weeks

[purplewoofer]

Have felt baby (second one) move since about 16/17 weeks. Have been very busy today, lots of walking and lifting toddler and not really felt baby move that I can remember. Have been lying still but not felt anything. Can it just move the other way so I can't feel it? Added issue of not being in the UK at the moment so can't really go up to the hospital. Thanks

Eat/drink something sugary and have a lie down.
Sure everything's fine and you've just been too busy to notice anything x

Cold drink always used to give mine a kick start although with both pregnancies I ended up going to be monitored for a few hours but everything was thankfully ok

I think at 19 weeks it is very difficult to detect a pattern of movement, especially if you are busy and moving lots. I was told to start taking notice from about 25 weeks.

However, I would echo the previous posters, try having a cold drink and lying on your left side for a while. Also are you able to contact your midwife for reassurance?

I had similar with my first pregancy - I had been rushing around all day, lifting heavy boxes and running up and downstairs. I saw the doc the next day for a check up and mentioned I hadn't felt any movement after my hectic day. She said that lots of activity can actually make them really sleepy / rock them to sleep! It was all fine. Obvs get it checked out if you are worried though.

At 25 weeks my MW said as long as I feel movement once a day that's fine ,- even at that stage they can hide away.
