17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

Im 17 wks 3 days now...ive been feeling the baby for a few weeks but not everday. Sometimes ill feel him 2-3 days in a row and then it could be 2-3 days without anything. Im going on about 4 days without feeling him. Now im worried. With DD's i had anterior placenta so i didnt feel them until about 20-21 weeks but after i started feeling them it was everyday.

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

At first you aren't going to feel them all the time because you are still getting used to the movement. As they get bigger you should feel them every day and you will know when they move more...regarding food, night etc.

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

I didn't even feel till about 20 weeks. Even at 20 weeks it wasn't constant. I'd say from about 24 weeks on it's been everyday!

With DD I didn't start feeling her everyday til about 21 weeks.

With this pregnancy I am almost 19 weeks and I am still not feeling it everyday. It all has to do with positioning and how the baby moves. It's not quite big enough to have a constant pressence yet. Don't worry about it.

It is very normal at this stage in pg not to feel it everyday. It will get more regular in a few weeks!

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

Yes, that's normal! In fact, they say it's not usually until around 22 weeks that you feel more regular movements!

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

That's way too early to expect to feel movement every day. If your doctor even does kick counts, it wouldn't be until at least 28 weeks. When I was pregnant and first felt flutters, I felt them every day for several weeks. Then, I went through a period where I didn't really feel anything for several days. It's totally normal.

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

Yes perfectly normal. You wont feel them everyday at that point...but they are for certain moving all around...just too small for you too feel it constantly everyday.

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

I think so because at 21 weeks i just started to feel the baby move and it doesnt happen too often

Re: 17 wks 3 days...is it normal not to feel the baby move everyday?

I didn't feel the baby moving at all until around 18 weeks, i'm 20 weeks now and i don't feel it everyday my Dr. is not worried.
