Im being a worry wart?

Question

the past week i started to feel the baby move but today the baby hasnt moved at all. Is this normal, im pretty sure it is because im not that far along but i guess im just being a worry wart. im 16 weeks 5 days.

Answer 1

Well two things could be going on:

1.the movements could of just been gass and you though it was the baby

2. The baby movements can be unpredictable.

Dont worry, and if you really are then you can go to the doctor, I'm sure your baby boy or girl is fine.

Answer 2

I've got a 3-week old at home - take it from me, until you're about 24 weeks along, your baby will move like crazy one day and not the next... Don't sweat it this early along. You'll have PLENTY to worry about later. After 24 weeks-ish, start doing fetal kick counts. You should feel your baby move at least 4 times in an hour. Until then, he/she isnt developed enough for you to feel a lot if its movements. Don't stress - you'll be fine!

Answer 3

yes, i was just like that a few days ago. I didnt feel baby move all day and usually baby moves when i rub my uterus. i worried so much i was about to call my doctor and i constantly checked myself to see if i was bleeding. everyone said i was acting really paranoid but i think its natural to worry if you dont feel movement all day. then it finally moved at night a few hours before i went to bed. i was so relieved. you'll be fine.

Answer 4

Yup completely normal.  Some days you will feel the baby, others you won't feel it.  They may be moving, you may just not notice.  I'm sure your baby is okay.  If you get really worried, just drink a sugary soda or eat a candy bar, and that usually gets babies kicking :P

Answer 5

That early in pregnancy, baby movement can be very unpredictable.

Lay down, have some juice.  When your laying still, it's easier to pay attention to the movement.

I worried too... That's why I bought a doppler!

Answer 6

Normal..and ALSO normal for you to start becoming a worry wart. It's a sure sign that you are going to be a good mother-LOL Congrats!
