Anxious still at 25 weeks

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone was in the same situation or could probably help me. I’m 25 weeks today and when I’m at work I never feel the baby. I work on a childcare setting and never stop. I then get scared I haven’t felt him all day. When I get home I’m obsessed with making him move but I can’t seem to get him to move and if he does I worry if he has or not. Anyone still feel anxious this far along

Because you are busy all day you wont notice him moving.. ive done this several times where ive been busy through the day then worried why i havnt felt him. If you lie down on your side and have a cold drink and just concentrate on baby you will sure start to feel him move. If you are ever worried about movements then please phone in and ask to be seen x

I have been off work poorly the last few days and felt him move lots . I just hate it when I’m at work that I never feel him and then I’m so tired that I fall asleep not long after coming home

Yep, it’s the most common worry that lasts throughout pregnancy. As PP said, if you are busy you don’t notice, and sometimes the position of the baby makes it hard to feel movements.
Speak to your midwife and she will advise you.

I feel exactly the same. 25 weeks today and can't stop worrying. I ended up at the hospital on Sunday because I was so worried I hadn't felt her move. I work in education and always on the move too. Someone said to me that being on my feet all day would rock baby to sleep a lot of the time. I spoke to my midwife about it and she's referred me to a charity specialising in ante and postnatal mental health. You're not alone in feeling like this.

It scares me so much . I wish I could just reassure myself but it’s so hard.

I worried about movements all the way through my pregnancy since the first flutter I felt at 14 weeks. If you're ever in doubt go and get checked. I never really felt DS at work unless I took 5 mins to sit down

Im a nurse so when im at work im always busy and on my feet. I never feel my baby then (im 21 weeks). I feel him when im at home and sat down!

I'm 25 and 2 and I'm exactly the same if I dont feel her for an hour I start to panic!
