cant feel movement
im a bit worried, Im 16weeks but have been feeling baby since about 13weeks and some definate little kicks since 14weeks, ive not felt anything at all since last night. ive tried laying on my tum (usually feels like laying on an orange) ive tried squishing my uterus like the midwife does. ive tried laying really flat on my back. nothing! if the baby had died would i know? symptoms bleeding etc? ive been trynig to put it to back of my mind all day but getting worried now. my 16 week apt not til friday. tempted to ring mat home but had a small bleed in my first preg at about the same time and they wouldnt even see me they sent me to the gyny ward of the hospital as the baby wouldnt of been viable etc. this is the same ward where women have terminations etc with same waiting room. do you think ill be able to see a community mw at a nother GP? or is this no movement thing normal? im trying notto worry th OH this is his first baby and he is in love with it already.

It all sounds pretty normal, i'm 28 weeks and still have days with very little movement but remeber feeling exactly the same at about 16 weeks as he kind of started and then stopped for a few days. Just a suggestion and i know they are not for everyone but have you thought about buying a doppler? I was miss paranoia and really found being able to listen to the heartbeat very reassuing at that stage, as long as you don't get obssessed by it obviously!! Just a thought - they are only about ??30 on ebay, that's where i got mine.
Anyway, try not to worry x
