A couple of days ago I felt the baby moving around a lot. I felt it all day longs. For the past 2 days I haven't really felt anything. Should i be concerned? Or is it that the baby is still so small I just may not feel it when it moves?

You shouldn't worry too much, you probably had more sugar in your system than usual. During my first pregnancy, I used to call my doc about everything and I happened to call him about the baby not moving. He told me to drink a glass of orange juice and lie down, that should get the baby moving in about an hour, I don't know how it worked, it just did! You should give your doc a call, but may want to try that, too.
Congratulations! You're having a baby! This is just the beginning of the many worries.

I am 20 weeks today, and I just posted something yesterday pretty much expressing the same thing..you can see. Anyway, I think it's completely normal because it is still roomy in there and you will only probably feel the really strong kicks. I was really down yesterday morning because I hadn't felt the baby in several days, then last night my husband got to feel the baby kick for the first time. It was also the first time that I KNEW it was the baby because it would kick back when pushing on my tummy. Just give it some time. I know, it gets frustrating, but the baby will grow and you will feel them! Good Luck and Congrats!!!

I dont think you need to be worried. In around 2 weeks time, that's when its normal for you to feel your baby moving. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and haven't felt my baby move yet. It can be worrying but i've been told by many people now that it's still quite early to feel it. If you are stil concerned contact your midwife. Good luck!

Not that we need to tell you, but your baby may sometimes seem like a kick-boxer in training with no appreciation for your exhausted-pregnant-momma sleep needs. Still, before you start yelling at them to calm it down in there, remind yourself that your busy baby really have no idea if you’re are rolling out of bed or cozying up to your partner for a good nights rest. Unfortunately for your sleep schedule, your little independent thinker will continue to operate on their own time table throughout the rest of the pregnancy. And you thought rebellious behavior only started around puberty!
Have you enrolled in a Lamaze course yet? The now-renowned courses teach various alternative birthing and breathing techniques, not to mention the oh-so-valuable lessons involved with natural pain management. (Visit http://www.lamaze.org/Default.asp for more information.) If you have already enrolled in a Lamaze course, consider coupling it with either a swimming or yoga course (or both!). Both forms of exercise focus on controlling your breathing (a large part of the Lamaze philosophy), while at the same time increasing blood flow, strength and flexibility. What’s more, many yoga studios and swimming pools cater to pregnant women (and couples) offering low impact sessions perfect for you and your partner
you're carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! Their little delicates bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. If you have a little boy, then their tiny testes are descending, though they have not yet passed the abdominal wall. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible. At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!

sometimes ur baby is moving around but u just can't feel it. maybe ure just too busy to notice it or the movements were really slight. As long as u can feel a bit of movement (like 1 kick a day) then it should be fine.

If you have been feeling the baby move then it's not all that small. I would at least call your doctor, they may have you come in to get checked out. You can't be too cautious and it will make you feel better too.

Go see a doctor please. You should always make sure your baby is ok. I don't mean to scare you but i was watching a program on TV just yesterday and a woman had the same problem, turns out her babies heart had stopped.
What do I know im just a guy...

You should not be worried. The farther along you get the more you will feel the baby move.

If you are very concerned, call your doctor, or schedule a visit. It would be reassuring to hear the baby's heartbeat.
