ANOTHER QUESTION....

[girl0319]

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT MY FETAL MOVEMENTS AGAIN... OKAY WELL TODAY I HAVE FELT NO FETAL MOVEMENTS YET AND YESTERDAY SHE WAS GOING STRONG... THE DAY BEFORE THAT I ALWAYS FELT VERY FEW MOVEMENTS MAYBE 3 AT THE MOST AND TODAY IM NOT SURE IF I FELT ANY.. I AM 20WEEKS AND THOUGHT THEY SHOULD BE ROUTINED BY NOW. . . ?

Unfortunently they wont be routine until about 28 weeks. At 20 weeks I often worried because one day she would be moving like crazy and the next couple days she wouldn't move at all. Its because at that stage they are still small enough to find places to hide and because they are still growing a lot some days they'll be more tired than other and it can cause lack on movement. Hope this helps some! :)

THOSE NAMES ARE BOTH CUTE! I KNOW LIKE FOR ME EVERYONE WAS GIVING US BLUE STUFF AND I WAS DEAD SET I WAS HAVING A BOY UNTIL THE ULTRASOUND SHOWED IT WAS A GIRL!

They want look for the sex until 20 weeks unfortunatly.  Boys run on myside of the family and girls run on his.  Of course we were supposed to have 2 girls... my sister-n-law had 2 ultrasounds that said her second was a girl and my sister had 3 u/s that said she was having a girl and they both popped out with a little penis.  I am hoping that mine is a boy, though the baby's father already has 3 girls, my mom is hoping this one will be a girl.  As long as the baby is healthy I'll be happy with either.  We already have names picked out... it it's a Boy we chose Robert Cash Hardiman and if it's a Girl we chose Regan Cybil Hardiman.  =)  Now that we have names it makes it easier to invision either sex.  =)

YES I MASSAGE AND I ALSO EAT A SNACK OR DRINK JUICE AND LAY DOWN FOR A WHILE BUT SHE JUST WONT BUDGE! YESTERDAY SHE WAS MOVING NON STOP AND TODAY ITS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. CONGRATULATIONS! I DIDNT START FEELING MOVEMENTS UNTIL 18WEEKS! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HAVING?

Massaging your belly that is...

[BabyHardiman]

Have you tried to massage your belly to get her to move?  I can already feel mine at 14 weeks.  Of course it's no were near the movement you can now feel.  =)  When I had my ultrasound my baby moved every time my midwife moved the vaginal doppler (I guess thats what you call it).  She thought it was funny.  Why don't you try that.
