why dont the baby move very often?

Question

The baby never moves at the same time from day to day some times i dont feel it move but once or twice allday, is this normal?

I am now 5 1/2 months pregnant, i started feeling little movements about 3 weeks ago.

Answer 1

yep, as long as the baby moves some every day don't worry

if you are in your last trimester you can take a big drink of ice cold water and that will make him move!

Answer 2

Yes, it's normal for this stage of your pregnancy. The movement will increase as a little more time passes, and you will start to notice wake/sleep cycles in your baby. Right now the baby has enough room in the uterus to move a lot without you feeling it. When I got my ultrasound at 21 weeks the technician pointed out that the baby was moving a lot right then...I couldn't feel a thing.

Answer 3

It actually depends on your actual stage of pregnancy that you're able to feel your baby move, because it needs to be big enough to touch the uterine walls with enough power for you to feel it. Then, babies even in utero have sleep and wake patterns. If you're towards the end of the pregnancy, your babies movements will lessen a bit, as it has probably completely run out of space then. But still, you should be able to feel your baby to move around regularly from around 24 weeks on.
If you are concerened for no movement and are past 24 weeks, see your OB/GYN. There can be numerous causes which can cause a decreased fetal mobility, and the last thing you want is that your baby has tangeled itself up in a cord.
So, I would suggest, see your doc and get an ultrasound. So in that way you know that your baby is ok and you have peace of mind.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

Answer 4

YES it is normal. I am 5 months and my baby only move only about three times a day but that how many I feel. You want always feel your baby when it moves so take it slow dont rush, Another thing is you probably walk to much and it makes you baby sleepy so sit down some times.

Answer 5

Your baby will start moving around alot soon. Count your blessings that he/she is quiet now because I am about 1 month ahead of you and my baby wont stop moving. Just do the kick counts to be sure that you feel some movement everyday. Good luck.

Answer 6

How far along are you? If you just started noticing baby's movements lately, baby just may not be big enough for you to be feeling all movements yet.

If you are worried then drink a glass of juice and lay down. See how many movements you count while you are resting. (See link below about kick counts.)

Keep in mind that if YOU are active, baby will probably be lulled to sleep by your motion. When YOU are resting, you'll be more likely to notice baby's movements.

Answer 7

Yup completely normal. There will never be a day that you will feel it move the same as another day.. some days he may not move at all.. let alone once or twice ( that you can feel )..

Answer 8

it usually is moving but you can't feel the movements all the time you are not that far along when you will feel the movements that strongly when was at that stage i usually only felt movements when i was eating or drinking somthing and the baby does not move all the time he/she is human he/she needs rest too

Answer 9

you're meant to experience ten strikes each and every 2 hours now. A stream could be a kick, or a roll, or a push. even once you have an anterior placenta. that's recommended to have a communication alongside with your wellbeing care provider.

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50." The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100." The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon and it takes eight people to collect all the money!"
