Movements. 22 weeks?

34 replies

Hi everyone. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and feel a lot of movement with baby. A lot in the mornings. However I've woken up today (been up since about 8am) so a good few hours and I've just been resting in bed. (Sunday lay in) and I've felt nothing at all. Is it too early to call and raise the alarm???? Or should I wait a few more hours and see what happens. I'm high risk so pretty anxious about this pregnancy. Any help appreciated. Thank you

I just wrote a long post and lost it 😬

I been anxious from before 12 weeks. When I had this awful cramping but EPU wouldn't see me as I wasn't bleeding.

Then from 17 weeks starting feeling movements and noticed after 3 in afternoon he start moving. Then was convinced he only did this a crazy as it sounds when DP was around. My DP had to go look after his nieces and he was so quiet when he was away. I am sure I felt odd movement and like days it be hardly anything it freaked me out. When I went to join my DP for weekend I told him he quiet and I was worried then started feeling movements around him again. It was crazy then come home left DP there and just nothing much.
I think this was before our 20 weeks again was worried that day but all was fine. We found out we having a boy. Since then I calmed down as movements and kicks were regular and started with the pattern. Up with me kicking 6am 9-3 sleeping and from then kicking and moving. Then recently before another scan he change again to only evening and now have no idea of his pattern.

Plus at one point I layed in bed was very freaked out and it may have been before or just after 20 weeks saw a lump sticking out my stomach. It was strange and started feeling him know down too. Thought something was wrong but all was fine.
Because my reassurance is in his kicking. As movements I can tell if he laying left or right when touching my stomach.
More recently sat on end of my bed freaked out again. Top of belly went into egg shape.
But I didn't phone midwife asked online and he still was kicking.
At midwife appointment Tuesday mentioned to midwife she didn't seem to worry and heard his heartbeat this time.

I totally get your anxiety. This why I given your more details to help you. My midwife said if I don't feel him 3 hrs to get checked out but tbh sometimes I have such a bad belly ache I can't feel him much. 3 hrs 9-3 he sleeps and I may feel movements so I try not worry.
I will monitor him closely from 26 weeks and if I do feel he not moved or kicked will call triage or go maternity.

I swear my baby boy playing me already. Really scaring me. The minute I am about worried he like kicks

Sorry for long post.

Thank you so much for sharing with me. It's hard because you think you get used to a regular pattern of movement and then it changes and it makes you worry so much. I know im so early but because I've been feeling him super regular it makes me worry. I've realised he truly has no pattern at all. I tell myself im not going to stress and then I end up stressing so much. I just can't wait to have him in my arms. Then I won't have to worry sooo much Hmm

@chocolateandtea123

How are you tonight?

My baby a bit quiet today now. I had gone back to work. Another thing when I have stomach ache can't feel him.
Think I felt him once since once and maybe moving at work a bit.
But still early for him yet.

Trying not to worry at the moment. He goes like this from time to time.

Hey. I'm feeling a little better today, I did speak to my midwife who said babies don't form a pattern until 28 weeks so not to worry too much as long as I am still feeling him. Hope you're not worrying too much.

@Quiegal how are you doing today ?
My baby is having an active day today. I'm so relieved. I've realised you are right, they do have their quiet days at this early stage.

Yesterday he decided to start kicking at 8 or 9 in evening as my DP felt the kicks. This morning he was moving and haven't felt him because been to work. Such a weird pattern lol.

Glad to hear your baby active today 😁

I'm now 25 weeks and baby is having a quiet day. Called triage who didn't seem too interested to be honest. They said they only expect a pattern after 28 weeks. A but worried
