How much does your baby move?

[dorothybythesea]

And how many weeks are you? Im 23 weeks and my baby doesn't seem to have a pattern. Thought she was getting more active, especially in evenings, but nothing last night. But then I was up for a wee at 2 am and she was bouncing like mad. Should I be worried? If something is wrong, there's not much they can do before 24 weeks, is there?

Not felt much today either just some faint bubbles. My placenta is in the back. Had a check last week and all was well.

The area I'm in say now to phone in with reduced movements from 24 weeks. I'd give your maternity assessment centre a call and they will advise.

I'm 24 weeks and baby moves quite a lot. Have had some quieter days that make me worry but all back to normal the following day.

No harm in ringing the midwives

You’re only supposed to start tracking movements from 28 weeks according to guidelines as baby is small enough to turn away from you and essentially hide before then. I’m 26 weeks and some days he will be quieter than others, I do get anxious on those days but then the following day he usually comes to life and kicks almost all day long. Seems normal for him.

I am the same really, 23 weeks and all my movements are really low down, people are saying they getting kicks near their belly button but everything i feel is down in my nicker line still!

I have been a day or two though where shes just been pretty lazy and the next its like a washing machine again. At this stage i would say worry if you dont feel her all day?

I'm 24 weeks and he's pretty active most of the day but he does have some quiet spells. I wouldn't say he has a pattern as such either but I think I'd know if something was off if that makes sense.

Sounds normal to me.

I was told before 28 weeks the baby is small enough to move and flip round so you can't feel every movement. So as a PP said you are only suppose to track movements from 28 weeks.
