Ways to make my baby move...
Anyone got any tips?
I'm 19 weeks and a bit frustrated with the lack of movements. I have felt a few 'flutters' but I'm not entirely sure that was it, I've got no idea what it feels like. I'm not skinny, I'm a size 14 so could that be why? When I listen to my doppler I can hear the baby moving all the time, its just not often I feel it and even then I'm not sure! Grrr! Can't wait to feel a proper kick!!!

i was the same as you, v. frustrated. i got my first flutters at 25 weeks cos of placenta being at front. but to make your baby move give him/her a nice cold drink, some sugary sweets or go for a swim! theres lots more things you can do but i cant remember lol
remember it depends how baby is lying, which way they are facing. i announced my first movement today in the dec forum and im 39+3! its the first time i could say omg thats his leg! and really properly felt the baby!
ooh bath time is supposed to be a good time for kicks!
