Flutters help very worried

Hi, I’m 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant. For the last 3 weeks or so I’ve had flutters every night the same place every time and mostly when I’m in bed. I had my 20 week scan last Tuesday and everything was perfect and normal but I’ve just realised over the last 3 or 4 nights my flutters have stopped and I haven’t felt tiny at all.

This is my first baby so I know I won’t experience kicks or big movements for a few more weeks.

I am sooo worried now that I’ve realised my flutters are away. Is this normal??? Please help

Movements will be very irregular at this point. Advice is to monitor movements from week 24. Don't worry but you can always get the heartbeat checked if you're concerned.

Hi, movement is very irregular at this stage. The baby can just move position a bit and then you cannot feel it. I rang midwife for a similar concern at about 21 weeks and they said not to worry and although they could do was listen to the heartbeat for reassurance. If it's stressing you out, call the midwife just for your own peace of mind.

I had the same. I felt flutters quite early on from about 15 weeks I think. Then all of a sudden I didn't feel anything and 111 actually sent me to out of hours GP and he had a little listen it's all they can do but it was so reassuring x

Thank you for all the replies. I’m at midwife on Friday. So I’ll try and hold off till then. Just sooo horrible when you notice the movement change. My mother actually said, baba has probably just moved. Funny 31 years old and still calling my mum with worries lol.

Try drinking an ice cold drink or eating something sugary. Sometimes those wake baby up.
