Almost 21 weeks and the only time I feel what i think is movement is when im sitting down, or kind of hunched?

Question

Over??? It feels like little slithers in my lower stomach. And it only does it like 2 times a day, and some days it doesnt even do it at all. Should i be concerned? I mean, i really dont know if its even fetal movement...but, i dont know.

Answer 1

I don't think you have to worry.....the baby is so tiny right now that it's hard to feel the movements. You probably feel it more when sitting down or hunching over because you are focusing on your belly then. When you are active or walking, it's easy to not feel the baby move because you are busy doing other things to feel the baby. At your stage, i only felt the baby move when i was laying down.......don't worry...pretty soon you'll feel kicks all the time! Congratulations!

Answer 2

Fetal movement will feel like a butterfly effect the first couple times, and you shouldn't be concerned till after your 24th week if you still haven't felt movement. So as of right now your okay and safe! Most don't feel it till weeks 22-24 anyways! :) So smile and look forward to the next 3 weeks.

Answer 3

It does sound like fetal movement to me. It is common for the baby to be active when mom is resting or sitting. Mine is most active at night when I am asleep so I barely noticed it until just recently and I am almost 27 weeks. If you are concerned bring it up to your Doctor especially if you are noticing other signs of concern.

Answer 4

It sounds normal. The baby is still small and has a lot of room in there so you won't be able to feel every movement (that's why it's only when you're hunched or sitting). Have fun and wait until the full-on kicks come!

Answer 5

yeah, you aren't real far along yet so baby is still small, just give it another few weeks the baby will go crazy usually when you are trying to sleep.
