How often should I feel movements?
At first the kicks you notice will be few and far between. In fact, you may feel several movements one day and then none the next. Although your baby is moving and kicking regularly, many of his jerks and jolts aren't yet strong enough for you to feel. But later in the second trimester, those reassuring kicks will become stronger and more regular. If you're tempted to compare "kicking" notes with other pregnant women, don't worry if your experience differs from your friends'. Every baby has his own pattern of activity, and there's no correct one. As long as your baby's usual activity level doesn't change too much, chances are he's doing just fine.
Hope this helps~ I am 24 weeks pregnant

It's normal for the baby to go in cycles of movement. Some days they will move more then others. You are also early enough in pregnancy that the baby may be moving, but with all the room it has right now, you aren't feeling it.
If you are concerned, drink or eat something sweet-fruit, fruit juice- and lay on your left side for a half hour to an hour. This will give the baby a boost of energy and you will feel them move.

Some days a baby is more active than others. With my first and third pregnancy the baby moved all the time but not with my daughter. I would monitor movement to rest your mind, not to scare you but if you feel absolutely no movement for a period of time ( talking more that a few hours ) tell your doctor.

I am 28 weeks been feeling my baby move everyday since about 20 weeks. I even know her schedule of when she is awake and asleep. Try drinking something cool or eating something sweet like a popcicle. It will get the baby moving, I know my baby she moves when I eat, drink of when her sisters come and talk to her.

as long as you feel movement you are good. you should feel them everyday, but not everytime them move. the further along you go the more they move and usually to the kidney area.lol just to show you who the boss really is

with my pregnancy, it depended on alot of things. What I ate, music i was listening to. If I ate chocolate he would wiggle like a worm. more into the pregnancy he moved less and less cause he ran out of room.

well the bigger the baby gets the less you are going to feel the baby. but if you dont feel it at all you need to go the hospital and make sure everything is ok

every one is different. i feel my move everyday. but like i said everyone is different. try laying in different positions & stay in that position for about 30 min. see if that gets your baby to move. you can call your doctor and see what they think. good luck
