I think I'm now 19 weeks, I've had a very stressful week, I've felt movement very early on in this pregnancy (4th) and baby is normally very active when I'm sitting down. However since Monday when I've had a lot of stress, baby hasn't seemed to have moved at all, I've tried cold drinks , laying down , and I'm getting a little concerned now . I don't want to make a fuss out of nothing , my 20 week scan isn't actually until mid November so its not like I can wait around for that.

I think you've got a wee tipo there, when is your 20 week scan? I would just call your mw, no harm getting checked

Call your midwife if you're concerned. I had a similar thing last week at 20 weeks and was told that baby is still too small at this stage to expect consistent movement and they would only be worried about this at around 24 weeks.

Worth calling your own MW team though just for the reassurance x

I think at this stage, they are small enough to still be able to tuck themselves into positions where you can’t feel them move. I know it’s stressful, but my understanding is that lack of noticeable movement isn’t a concern until around 24 weeks.

Sounds daft but have you tried moving around a bit? Maybe some star jumps or a brisk walk? Could help encourage baby into a different position.

If the weather cheers up i may whizz the doggos out when u get back from work , I think maybe its tucked itself somewhere in quite far back maybe
