Movements and pain

[emmab96]

So I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant I've been feeling baby move at night for the last couples of weeks (from about 16/17 weeks) I had some sharp stomach pain on Friday and has been dull but still there on the weekend especially if I'm walking for more than 10 minuets it becomes more intense I spoke to my midwife about it she advised if the pain settles with paracetamol then not to worry but the last 2 nights I haven't been feeling him moving and now I'm starting to get really worried I know in early pregnancy the movements aren't in a pattern yet but should I be worried about this?

-at 19 weeks baby is so small still that they could have easily just moved into a new position that you can't feel however if you're worried and have been feeling regular movement give your midwife / triage a call talk to them (explain the pain etc) they can advise you best.

They may say sorry it's just too early or they may have you come in for a Doppler or scan to check

It's so stressful!

Have you had your 20 week scan yet? At 19 weeks, I guess baby is still pretty small so try not to worry so much about movement patterns just yet - easier said than done I know. If you are really worried and have already had your scan or you cant wait until then, ring your midwife she may offer you come in to listen to heartbeat.

I had horrible stomach pains all on right hand side at 21 weeks to the point I cried when I put my socks on cause it was that painful but we put it down to growing pains

@Mintypea5 @Sparkle0109 My 20 week scan is on Friday so I'm just going to hold out until then it's so hard not to worry it's funny because I was never a worrier before I got pregnant now I feel like I worry about everything and he's not even here yet haha

Tell me about! I think the worrying is part of the pregnancy..who said it was fun eh!
Good luck for your scan !

@Sparkle0109 thank you! Had the scan he's all great 100% a healthy baby boy couldn't be happier

Woo! That's amazing!!! Try and relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy
