Yes, I think as first timer it is very easy to over-analyse everything that’s happening to your body at this stage. Every pinch and strange feeling sometimes seem a worry, and it’s probably nothing!!! Silly!? But I guess it’s better to be over cautious than just accept that that's how things should be!
I think it's great to have the use of a forum like this just to ask some questions and to hear others' stories, ideas comments!
Thanks everyone!

I was lucky to feel mine early on (15 weeks) but I had a bout 4 days after the first where I felt nothing! It's really only now that I a feeling regular strong movement, but again I think I am alot earlier than most, might be cuz I have a very slender tummy (well used to have one hehe). Alot of websites say it is normal to not even feel baby for the first time until even 22 weeks, so I wouldn't worry.]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:07:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1154164&title=baby-movement#1154164 <![CDATA[Baby Movement : Heya Murmel, I am 20 weeks on...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1153330&title=baby-movement#1153330 Author: xcitdmum2b

Heya Murmel, I am 20 weeks on Monday and have been really worried about lack of movement too. I am sure people just brush me off as being paranoid but it is quite a big deal for a first time mum - I suppose we tend to over-analyse things and worry a bit more as it is so new, exciting and scary. I think I might have felt something a couple of times but not sure if it is really the baby or not but most days there is absolutely nothing. I am sure it wont be long before we find their kicks annoying and will be wishing they wont move so much. Until then your worries have settled mine a little. Thanks! ]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:06:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1153330&title=baby-movement#1153330 <![CDATA[Baby Movement : Hey, thanks everyone!

Hey, thanks everyone!
I had a bit of a flutter last night, yay!
By everyone’s comments I’m not going to worry too much at this stage.
Glad others have been going though similar things!

Thanks again!

Yeah I remember being the same and often having a glass of icy water and laying down would bring on movements. ]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 14:17:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152281&title=baby-movement#1152281 <![CDATA[Baby Movement : Not sure about you, but I had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152137&title=baby-movement#1152137 Author: High9

Not sure about you, but I had an anterior placenta, started feeling movements about 20 weeks but was very random and it wasn't until about 25 weeks that they we more definite and had a proper pattern iygiwm. Remember babies sleep a lot so you'll have short bursts of them being active and at 20 weeks they still have so much space to bounce around! ]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:21:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152137&title=baby-movement#1152137 <![CDATA[Baby Movement : I&#039;ve had similar experiences...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152032&title=baby-movement#1152032 Author: caliandjack

I've had similar experiences on and off, some days baby is simply quieter than others.  Now I keep track of her movements and as long as I get 10 or more during the day I stop counting after I've had a dozen or so then I know she's fine.

In the book I got from my MW it has a movement diary to keep track.
At 20 weeks they've got lots of room to move and can be in a position that you can't feel them.

If you are at all worried talk to your MW.

Some days babies are quieter than others    At 20 weeks I could feel my son more some days and less on others. As he got bigger I felt the movements more and more. I wouldn't worry too much (I know that is hard!) but if you are feeling worried talk to your midwife.]]> Tue, 14 Sep 2010 10:21:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152011&title=baby-movement#1152011 <![CDATA[Baby Movement : Hi there!.....we&#039;re having...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35740&PID=1152009&title=baby-movement#1152009 Author: Murmel

Hi there!.....we're having our first and am at 20 weeks, felt the little thing quite a bit last week, but since the scan things have gotten rather quiet...is that normal?

Just wondering if I should be worried at this stage, or not worry too much as it's still pretty small I guess and may have moved into a position where I can't feel it as much????

Any thoughts?
