You are not suppose to keep track of fetal movements till the third trimester. It is normal not to feel them kick for a couple days this early on, your baby isn't very strong yet and you might not feel all of their movements yet!

Hi, you are like how I felt...some days my baby was all over and then other days I barely felt him. They say before 22 weeks as long as you feel him in 24 hours your fine. After 22 weeks you do a test...eat a snack or pick a time when your baby is most active and count 10 movements in 2 hours. Then at 28 weeks it should be 10 movements per hour till 32 weeks or so...

are you feeling any movement at all? One a day should be reassuring for you at this point. As the baby grows you will feel more and more frequent movemnt.
If you have not felt your baby move at all in 24 hrs, call your dr. He's small enough that its likely you are missing movements, but there is always a risk of things going wrong.

Quite unusual to feel movements that early with your first. If you have no movements now then call the midwife or doctor so they can listen in and reassure you. The movements are never that great this early but you will feel better hearing the little ticker.

Absolutly, it's only abnormal if you are further along and don't feel movement.
