Movement at 17 weeks .. feel baby once and nothing for 3 days

[zeromango]

Hi all,

I'm currently 17w3d pregnant with my little boy. I've felt movement from 14/15 weeks (posterior placenta) but since around 16 weeks I feel the baby a couple of times in the evening and then nothing for 3/4 days which then makes me really nervous! I didn't feel my DD until 24 weeks (anterior placenta) and by then it was daily, so this is new to me.

When do you start to feel movement daily? Thank you!

I had an anterior placenta so different to your current pregnancy.
But, baby is still small and not strong enough to feel daily, they could have moved position so their back is on placenta.
But of course any worries give MAU a ring to get checked out.

MAU will tell you not to worry this early but you can call them, they usually have you in for monitoring 24wk onwards.
Baby is still very small at your stage and can easily get in to positions where you will feel little to nothing.

I felt a couple of definite movements at 16+6 then nothing for a week, then it came back daily since 17+6. But I agree with other people at this stage they can easily turn round and kick where you can't feel them, try not to worry about it.
