movement often enough?
Hi. I was wondering, how often can you feel the baby move in a day? I
started to feel movement around week 17 I think, but now, at 23 weeks, I feel so little and week movements, I thought theyŽd be stronger by now. I can feel a little something usually in the mornings, one or two kicks (well not even kicks, more like movement) during the day, and a little in the evening, one or two? THought IŽd feel more. Eva. |

It depends on a number of things what you feel and how often you feel it. At 23 weeks there is still quite a lot of room, and the kicks may not be all that strong for you to notice, especially if you are doing other things at the time. The location of the placenta is a big issue: anterior placenta 'absorbs' the movement so you don't feel all that much. And some babies are just more active than others. There is no problem as long as you keep feeling movement consistently, either frequent or less frequent. Only if you feel a lot less or nothing at all for a day, you should worry. -- -- Ilse mom to Olaf (07/15/2002) TTC #2 "What's the use of brains if you are a girl?"

You will feel more! 23 weeks is early days, osme first time Mums are still waiting for a first kick by then. If your placenta is on the front or you are a big girl you can feel less. Sounds totally normal to me. |

Sounds totally normal to me. FWIW, when we had our ultrasound Monday, it was very clear that baby was moving around a lot more than I was feeling. Little squirt wriggled around and jumped off my bladder the whole time, but I only felt two bumps. (And for all that wriggling, babe still didn't move into a good position to get the picture of the heart and related veins that the doctor wanted or the look between the legs that DH wanted!).
