I think if I went a full 24 hours then I would notice but still no routine to the kicks.<br /> The only thing I have become aware of in the past week is that s/he starts up properly around 3pm and starts to be peaceful again around 10pm. If only it stays like this :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656394 Sat, 24 May 2014 12:08:39 +0000 Zbug 1656394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt the same way around that time. I would drink orange juice and ice water to try to get her to move. She was fine. I was just being crazy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656323 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:47:39 +0000 Honeygold89 1656323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Pumpkin: lol yep it was still pretty cool and fun even though as he got bigger it started to feel like he was trying to claw his was out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656314 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:39:43 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1656314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Wow, that's pretty crazy to think about! It's finally starting to sink in that there's an actual little person in there, apparently with their own nap schedule. </p> <p>Of course I'm eagerly waiting for regular movements to start, but I have a feeling I'll possibly take my words back during the 2 am dance parties! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656294 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:18:30 +0000 Honeygold89 1656294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh also my MW use to tell me that during the day you would feel less movement because you up moving around and pretty much rocking the baby to sleep bug mornings and nights you would feel the most movements. For me my LO would start moving around 7am then 2pm for a little then when I first lay down at night around 9 or 10pm and then when I was around 30 weeks he would have parties in there around 2am every morning lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656292 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:18:01 +0000 regberadaisy 1656292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.Pumpkin: your ob won't ask you to count movements till much later on. So yes, still too early for regular movements. :) </p> <p>I didn't really feel my LO1 till 23 weeks because of my anterior placenta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656287 Sat, 24 May 2014 10:11:01 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1656287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeygold89: Awesome, thanks!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: The positioning thing is actually a really good point- at the moment, I really have no idea if she's heads-up, down, sideways, etc. It'll be really interesting to see how she's positioned at our anatomy scan this week! I bet it really does make a difference in how you feel movement!</p> <p>@Weagle: Haha, I was totally going to bring that up at my next appointment on Friday! But the increased movement in mornings &amp; evenings is when I tend to feel the little movements, so that makes a lot of sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656267 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:55:53 +0000 Weagle 1656267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My midwife and I talked about this Thursday. I'm 23 weeks, and she said it would be totally normal if I weren't feeling regular movement now. She said early morning and evening are typical active times at this stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656239 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:26:14 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1656239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel my first until 24 weeks, and at that point she was pretty strong and predictable. She was also breech with her back against mine the entire time!</p> <p>With this baby, I started feeling movement around 14 weeks. It was random, inconsistent flutters that turned into real kicks by 16 weeks. I noticed a pattern by 18.</p> <p>With that said, this baby rolls back and forth. She's also breech, but I only really notice her movement when she's for her back to mine. If she's got her back to my belly, her movement isn't as strong/prominent and I don't feel if as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656238 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:26:06 +0000 Honeygold89 1656238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was like 22-23 weeks before it was becoming regular </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656229 Sat, 24 May 2014 09:11:51 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1656229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: Thanks for the reassurance! :heart: It's good to know that these things are normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656214 Sat, 24 May 2014 08:50:04 +0000 Tidybee 1656214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worried with my first...but it's totally normal to go days between feeling movement this early. I don't think I felt DD daily until 22-24 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-movement-not-regular#post-1656208 Sat, 24 May 2014 08:47:24 +0000 Ms.Pumpkin 1656208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did your baby's movements become really regular and predictable?</p> <p>I'm 20 weeks now, and started feeling little fluttery movements a week or two ago. While I'm generally feeling at least one twitch or flutter most days at this point, it's not really regular at all. I know that you're not supposed to be doing kick counts or anything until the 3rd tri, but how worried should I be that I'm not feeling super regular movement? Or that the past day or two, it's felt a little more "muffled" than it has been in the past?</p> <p>Could it be that the baby's rolled over or something, and is now kicking somewhere I can't feel it? </p> <p>So I'm pretty sure I'm worried over nothing, but being a FTM, you know how it is! :silly: </p>
