i'm 19 weeks pregnant and only felt the baby kick once. is there anythimg wrong with the baby?

Answer 1

It is normal some are early starters whereas others are quiter. However after 24 weeks u sud feel it regularly. In fact in my case I started feeling from 16 weeks. Some baby are early starter :)

Now-a-days babies may be watching lot of world cup with you and getting ready for action now itself. You should read Indian story about Arjun-Abhimanyu where Arjun told how to clear out of war circle (Chakraviu) however when he was explaining how to get out of it, his wife fall sleep so his son could listen that part and when it came to actual war he got killed while coming out :)

Answer 2

This is quite normal and there shouldn't be anything wrong. I've had two children and was always told that it wasn't unusual to not feel anything until 20 weeks. My first kicks were at 19 weeks, and with the second child at 16 weeks. Depends on a lot of factors. The baby is quite small at this stage and has to be thrashing around a lot for you to feel it. Also the details such as toes, etc. are new & the baby doesn't know how to use them properly yet, (hasn't learnt how to kick yet!) so a "kick" as you have felt it is actually usually an accidental brush up against you. It's not like they're sitting inside you playing football, although by time you're 35 weeks pregnant it will feel like that! If you really are concerned you should go to your doctor & they'll check if a heartbeat is present. If there is one, nothing to worry about. If they can't find a heartbeat, they'll do an ultrasound then you'll see your baby for yourself and this will definately put your mind at ease. You should generally have had an ultrasound checkup by now anyway, so you should have been able to see for yourself that your baby is there. If you haven't had one yet, make an appointment with your doctor. Generally 18 weeks is the right time to schedule the first ultasound. My friend has a 3 year old and she only felt him kick 3 times in her whole pregnancy. The first time was at 25 weeks. She was worried too. He was a very peaceful baby and now, is a fantastic sleeper. He slept through the night from 2 weeks old - that's what you want! Mine on the other hand, kicked me constantly so that by time I gave birth I was already physically exhausted & lacking sleep. They both were never good sleepers, and the 3 year old (the youngest) still wakes me up 3 or 4 times a night, she's a light sleeper. Go for your regular checkups & hear the heartbeat yourself and as long as the doctor is happy with your progress, it will all be fine. Don't stress out about this. In a few weeks, it won't stop kicking and you'll wish it would give you a break! Enjoy the last few months of freedom, don't dwell on what if's. This is the last time in your life that you will be childless and on your own. It will go so quickly. And enjoy every stage of your pregnancy, even though you may feel sick, fat and ugly (I did!) it's only 9 months and the day you give birth it will be sooooo worth it. This is such a wonderful time for you, cherish every moment. I sincerely wish you all the best.

I'm sure this is u r 1st pregnancy.

Congratulations !

Well there's nothing to worry about that. It's absolutely normal to feel the first baby kick as soon as 5th month begins or even after the end of the month.There could even be a gap of one week between the kicks.

Don't take unnecessary tensions. Enjoy your pregnancy and wish u a safe delivery.

Answer 4

Your baby is so tiny right now-it is moving and kicking but your probably not feeling all of it. I'll tell you a trick my doctor taught me. As your pregnancy progresses you will feel more kicking. When you are worried drink a glass of orange juice and lay down on your left side. Your baby will kick like crazy within 20 minutes. It always worked for me! Also they do have fetal heart rate monitors you can rent during pregnancy. My sister rented one and whenever she was worried she just checked the baby's heart beat. It was really cool. Good Luck and enjoy your pregnancy!

Answer 5

No, they are moving around but the baby is so small that you may not feel much of it. Enjoy it now, because when that baby starts to kick, you'll be running to the bathroom, waking up to see an elbow or knee kicking you ( i used to like to watch the baby kick, it looked like I was carrying an alien) but you do get a nice shelf to eat off of for awhile

Answer 6

Probably not. As you progress along with your pregnancy you should start to feel the baby kick more often and more noticeably. The baby is so tiny and you're so new to feeling kicks that the baby might not be kicking so much yet, or you might not be accustomed to feeling them yet. Keep an eye on it, or bring it up as a concern to your Doctor. You should be okay, though (and so should your baby be)! :)

Congrats!

Answer 7

No, at 19 weeks your baby is probably still too small to feel it kick regularly. make sure you are going to your OB/GYN to get checked on a regular basis. they should be able to give you more specific information about what to expect and when.

Answer 8

I didn't really start feeling lots of movement til around 19 weeks. Its different for everyone. Its always best to call your doc if you are concerned just to be on the safe side

Answer 9

Usually babies don't start to move until you are 4 1/2 months pregnant.They are sluggish at first.Then they pick up speed as you get farther along

Answer 10

No.Your baby is just growing and turning about in yr stomach.Prevent from going to noisy places as babies could hear it.If he/she heard the loud noise,it will be about 5 times noiser than what you heard.
