Movement then nothing
Hi,
I've been feeling my baby move about once or twice a day for a couple of weeks now (I'm now 18weeks). The thing is I'm getting bigger and bigger (apparently the fundal height is at least 2 weeks bigger than it should be) but I can't feel the baby anymore.
I have a doppler so I know the baby is fine but I'm still a little worried and fed up that I'm huge and can't feel a thing. Has anyone else felt movement and then gone days without feeling anything? Could it be because of an increase in fluid or the baby changing position or something?
Thanks
Clatter

Try not to worry or get too fed up apparently the way in which your baby is lying can effect how many or how strong movements can be, also if the baby is also facing placenta and kicking that then this could also be a reason behind you not feeling anything.
I've had a few quiet days however the closer you get to the end of your pregnancy you feel even the slightest of movement so i'm sure it'll pick up soon x x

i have had movement since 15 weeks but it is sporadic...I can go 5 or days with nothing and then 2 or 3 days of constant...
This is my second and with my lo I didn't feel anything until 22 weeks and then it gradually built up...
It's all to do with the baby still having so much room to move around in and the position of our placenta...
I wouldn't worry to much but you can always ring your midwife if your not happy...

im 40+2 and only felt a movmement ic ould identify as a kick last week!! i got first flutters at 25 weeks when i was in bed poorly. my placenta is anterior, as with some of you guys, so doppler has been very reassuring!

My mum says it's good I have an anterior placenta as he wont annoy me moving around! But I'd love to feel loads of movements, still there's time!
i wish id known about the anterior placenta and not feeling movements sooner as this stressed me out when i had 'quiet days'. there is still time, these last few weeks have been ace for movements, i havent been woken by him or particularly incomfortable, have enjoyed feeling the stronger movements these days!
did everything go ok with scan then??
