Hun if your worried I’d ring midwife , I’m on my 4th baby now and 17 weeks tomorrow I had a few flutters and bubbles but I’m still anxious. Have you tried an iced cold drink then lying down ? You can also ring epu and they might bring you in to monitor the baby for half hour. Xx

So you never felt them? That can be pretty normal tbh ... you might have an anterior placenta which will dampen things. I'd imagine you are due your 20 week scan any day now.

I got to get it my 20 weeks ultrasound on Aug 1 and I haven't felt nothing I been to the doctor and the hospital more then one time about baby movements and all they did was check the heart beat

If your baby's heart is beating it should be fine. Maybe you have a day sleeper on your hands and your baby is up bouncing around while your resting you don't notice because your asleep. Mmm sounds like your going to be up all night with this one. Good luck hun get your rest you're going to need it.

To be honest at 19 weeks not much else you can do as ctg traces dont work too well and if there is a heart beat its s good sign. Babies dont get regular movement until much later. Some babies are just more active than others and sometimes you just feel them later

I had this with my fourth, born in February. Turned out she had an anterior placenta where its attached to the front of the womb. The reason they tell us to look out for movements is because we can't check the heartbeat regularly ourselves but that's why they just listened for the heartbeat. All is well, I'm sure, placenta is just in the way. Good luck with your scan xx

I didn’t find out I was pregnant till 19 weeks felt no movement what so ever, I also had a anterior placenta and I didn’t really feel him that much during the day, only towards the end of my pregnancy I could actually see him moving, everything should be ok you will find out at your 20week scan where the placenta is x

Always call if worried :) they’d rather reassure and all is fine than miss something
