Flutters

I haven’t felt flutters in a few days. I am 17 weeks and 5 days today. Is this normal! First time momma and just want to feel my baby move again. I’ve also had some belly cramping going on in the middle but to the left side and hoping it’s just because my belly is growing.

I went through the same thing around 17/18 weeks. I’m a few days from week twenty and the baby is back moving more so. Ofcourse if you think somethings wrong ask your midwife or obgyn to ease your mind but for me I will have a few days where it seems inactive and then I’ll get butterflies again

@Taylor thank you I have an appointment on Wednesday for my ultrasound I have no bleeding or excoriating pain.

Yesss I’ve been going through this too. But she was just fine, I think it may be normal for where we are at

Baby’s movement doesn’t become more consistent for a few more weeks. I’m sure there’s no reason to worry 😚

Baby didn’t move for 3 days at 17 weeks too but I feel him a lot now. Almost 19 weeks.

I went through this a few days ago! I absolutely panicked. Baby girl was fine at anatomy scan the next day though! I heard that if your LO is going through a growth spurt they may go quiet for a bit (not sure if that is true or not). But always always always contact your OB if you’re truly worried.

Just hit 18 weeks and feel this so hard. I have this exactly, even the pain point. Trying not to stress but also being the most emotional basket case ever makes it real hard not to live in fear! When’s your next appointment? Anatomy scan in a couple weeks?

@Sarah I have my anatomy scan on Wednesday.

@Katie Eller yes!!! Unless you’re having crazy pain or spotting or anything you’re likely good to wait till then but I sent my doc a message just to be safe. I go for my anatomy scan on Friday and she said to just wait unless pain worsens or im having things like fever/discharge/intense headaches/etc

yes normal ! i started feeling flutters at around 15weeks- 16 weeks and then wouldn’t feel them days apart sometimes weeks apart. i’m now 20w1d and i started feeling him back to back from three days ago. everyone’s different!!💗

Honestly it’s been the same for me and I started to become worrisome. I’d only feel my baby kick atleast two days out the week. But as you get to your 20 week mark where I’m at the baby won’t stop moving. I’ve been feeling his kicks all week everyday 😂. It’ll all be okay mama no need to worry because Ik I sure did

I am going through the same as you ☺️
