4th baby not feeling much movement

[Tbabie]

Hi baby number 4 ,18w 5 days and I do feel the odd flutter but concerned baby should be moving more.. Haven't had a scan yet, still waiting for it to be booked in.. Didn't manage to hear heartbeat but it come up on midwife's monitor that it was there.. Am worried tho? Thought they would move more as 4th pregnancy... Hopefully scan soon see midwife next week

Babies don't move more just because you've had multiple kids. Some are more active than others and if you haven't had a scan yet at all your dates could be out also you could have an anterior placenta which will mask movement of baby as well you need to ring the ultrasound department to chase up about scan.

Nah was on a app tracker to track ovulation and periods.. So I know what my dates are.. Think it's just paranoia as I had all my other 3 younger and I just turned 35 , so more concerned I guess she to my age.

There's a chance your placenta be at the front of your womb rather than the back. I've had it with this pregnancy and my second one and didn't feel.movement properly till 20 plus weeks.

Hi Hun I’m 35 and on my 4th baby too , this little one has been lazy and didn’t feel him much really til 22 weeks odd flutters and waves and it scared me too as my other 3 were more active and I felt those between 17 & 19 weeks. I had my eldest I was 20 & 22 and 31 with my 3rd. I found out this one was a little boy as I have 3 girls so he’s just a lazy one I think. Xx

Hi I'm in the same boat too 17 weeks +1 and this is baby no 4 and im 37

with the others i felt movement earlier but felt nothing really yet ive just put it down to each baby is different but you can't help but be anxious and worry do you!?? Think we just need to be patient and wait for the scan in sure they will be jumping and kicking us no end soon ! Take care xxx

You should be able to feel them moving a bit earlier. But if they’re not moving much you won’t feel it either way. Also they tend to be asleep in the day time and awake at night so you may be asleep when they’re moving. Xx

I have started feeling like rolling movement and a quick small kick over last few days... I don't know if it is baby's gas or what.. It has been 7 years since my last pregnancy do can't really ember to much when I felt with the last one.. Waiting for a scan is frustrating.. But I see my midwife on Wednesday so will see what's happening then. I just try to keep positive and my baby I find really only moves during the day, not so much at night. So will keep everyone posted after o see the midwife.
