17 weeks 4 days and less movement

[Suzie2287]

Hi,

This might sound silly at such an early stage of feeling movement, but I'm just a bit concerned that I haven't felt as many flutterings today! For the past week or so I've been feeling it more and more, but today, I have only had a few, whereas yesterday, baby was being very active!

Has anyone got any advice or had the same problem?

Thanks!

I didn't feel very much at all until about 20 weeks and didn't really have any sort of pattern until about 24 weeks from what I remember. However that being said you know your baby, go and get checked if you're worried!

I'm 22 weeks, and feel definate movements now. My midwife said that it's only from 24 weeks that you should be keeping an eye on movement patterns. So I think you'll be OK.

At 17 weeks the baby is so tiny and can tuck themselves up in a corner somewhere. I was told this at 24 weeks, so 17 weeks would be even smaller, also when facing inwards at that stage you'd feel less too.
