Wife's "Flutters" Ceasing While Sick
My wife is pregnant, estimated at around 9 weeks. She had been feeling
"flutters" but the last day or so has been coughing and sick. Since then the flutters have stopped. She fears this means she is miscarrying and even has the notion that the coughing is the cause. Is this a normal thing, or something that demands immediate attention? She is due for a checkup Monday anyway. Thanks. |

People usually feel the baby at about 20 weeks, up to 4 weeks either side i think is quite normal. mind you, i am no medical expert, just offering some weekend free advice from one mum to another to be! Hope she is feeling better chris |

As much as everyone says that you can't feel movement until 20 weeks or so... Actually, isn'tthat WHEN you should be feeling something, not the earliest possible? I know I felt movements around 17 weeks with this one & my first. |

I know I felt movements around 17 weeks with this one & my first. Pretty much. Some people go a bit overboard saying you can't feel movement earlier than that, but most people seem to acknowledge that some women feel movement earlier--down to around 12-13 weeks for some lucky folk. It's perfectly normal not to feel movement until 20-24 weeks, though. Best wishes, Ericka |

It's perfectly normal not to feel movement until 20-24 weeks, though. It's also safest to state it that way. Else women reaching 16 weeks with no movement and being asked "have you felt anything yet" can go into a panic when they haven't. FWIW - after I felt very obvious movement around 21 weeks, I could think back and realise "so that's what that was" to about 16 weeks. But at 16 weeks, with a first pg, it felt like nothing more than gas. |

It's perfectly normal not to feel movement until 20-24 weeks, though. I was utterly convinced I was feeling movement with #2 when I went for a scan at 10+4, turned out to be 9+2, what it felt like was what you imagine it must feel like if you cupped your hands around an insect that was fluttering hard and trapped. The location was just behind the pubic bone, which is exactly where the baby and uterus would be at that time. Looking back I wonder if it could have been the first sign of SPD, but I didn't feel a twinge until 20+4, so it would be a little surprising if it was. Anne |

Anne You know, I've felt that fluttering when not pregnant. I think it's muscle spasms, either in the uterus, ovaries or ligaments nearby. I get the same type of little muscle spasms right beneath one eye or another sometimes. -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys, 1/3/03 Addison Grace, 9/30/04 Check out the family! -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password |
