Where have my flutters gone!

I am 19+3 and from 16-18 weeks I could feel very occasional flutters and now they've gone. I haven't had any for several days ☹️ my bump also doesn't seem to be growing (I am tall and carry my weight round my waist). I really don't want to call my midwife at this tricky time, so wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar as I'm really starting to panic that I've had a MMC.

I had days like this and also worried. The baby is still so small that if he/she has turned round you may not be able to feel them anymore. It’s still very early. At my 20 week scan we saw the baby move and I said I felt it. The Sonographer was really surprised I was able to feel him as she said that most can’t at that point.

Thanks for replying @Betsyboo87! It just feels weird that I could feel them and now I can, hopefully I will get some peace of mind at my 20wk x

I’m the same I am 19 weeks this Weekend and I’ve felt flutters for a few weeks (but I do have anterior placenta so I can’t feel them as strong) and some days I don’t feel anything at all! We bought a Doppler and that’s made me feel at ease , we don’t use it a lot, less than once every two weeks but my husband is trained to use them but it’s definitely helped . And at my gender scan I could see baby girl doing flips and all sorts and couldn’t feel a thing so it goes to show how much they love and we can’t feel it xx

Hi ladies, sorry I know this is an old thread but I've been worrying about this. As I felt quite a lot of flutters and the last couple of days it seems to have gone quiet. I know I'm probably panicking but I'm a FTM and my 20 week scan isn't for 8 days 11 days which feels like an eternity!

I had my 20 week scan on Wednesday. It lasted 45 minutes and the baby spent the entire and I mean entire time moving about and doing somersaults. I didn't feel a thing! Please try not to worry :).

Thanks @Chanel05 I'm just such a worrier! And I think where we are stuck at home at the moment there is no distractions so too much time to analyse everything.
