call the doctors office and have them advise you on this
don't take any chances with the baby through this pregnancy ~ if you are ever unsure or feel like something isn't right ALWAYS contact your OB
congrats and best wishes

Hi, have you been feelling baby move pretty often before? or 2-3 times a day?
I started feeling my baby move around 14 weeks, but up to about 20 weeks, it was not constant, apparently babies maybe turned such that you wouldn't feel their moves, also they are so tiny at that time, that if you are too busy you may just miss it. I remember calling my husband at 19 weeks and crying, because I couldn't get the baby move all day long.
In any case just stop by doctor's office and ask them to listen to the heart beat, and in future if you are not getting the baby to move for too long, eat something sugary; drink cold water, and lay down or sit down for about 1 hour concentrating only on your baby. Good luck, everything should be fine.

I felt the same worry when I didn't feel my baby move for days at a time, but my doctor reassured me that some babies have longer sleep periods & could be more active while you are sleeping where you don't notice it. I wouldn't worry too much though, but give ure doctor a call just in case.

Yes it's normal. Most women haven't even felt their babies move at all yet at your stage. You can go days at that point without feeling anything in there, because the baby is not very big or strong yet. Everything is fine please don't worry,

I wouldn't worry at all. I was 5 1/2 months before I felt the slightest movement. My dr. wasn't worried at all.

Yes, most people don't even feel the baby move until now. It is so tiny and has lots of room in your womb to move. Don't worry. Good luck.

To be honest phone your midwife immediatley. they may send you for a scan to check all is ok. Regulary keep a day diary on kicks and movement then you will always notice anything strange. Sorry to be rude but get off the internet and pick up the phone and call your midwife to be sure!

if you are worried get in touch with your doctor...they can arrange for a scan...it could just be baby not moving as much, or baby sleeping....but ask you doctor...you wont be wasting time
