flutter feelings

[twinkle_toes_forever]

Hi all, I am just over 18 weeks pregnant. For 2 or 3 weeks i had been getting the typical flutter feelings you get around this time everyday, but the past few days i have not felt anything...Should i be concerned? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much all of you for your comments....has made me feel more relaxed. Just been a bit panicky cause have had a few problems in this pregnancy, and experienced 3 miscarriages before hand, had one healthy boy before all of those though. Wish you all the luck with your pregnancies and congratulations! x

ive gone 17 weeks today and i also had the same flutters around 2 weeks ago but nothing after that but i wouldn't be worried. I went to see my midwife yesterday and my baby was very active and was ok ! so i was a lot happier after that :)

haha i got a really nice one (super cheap to rent like 27 a month) and i got it when i was like 17 weeks or so, so it didn't scare me!! :) but i definitely wouldn't recomend one super early cause that would definitely be nerve wracking.

I agree with worrieddd612. You won't constantly feel the baby's movements until a couple of weeks later in your pregnancy. Although I would not get a doppler only because I'm super paranoid and sometimes you don't instantly find the baby's heartbeat and then I would start sh****ing my pants off. Excuse my french lol

not at all!! you baby's movements won't be consistent until probably 26 weeks...just to hopefully give you some peace of mind, I rented a heart doppler from a company called baby beat. and it came with a CD that played very distinct noises and told you what they were. and so when i was listening to the heartbeat I could clearly hear her movements because I knew what they sounded like and I couldn't feel a lot of them!! it was kinda strange but reasuring at the same time because I knew I didn't have to worry about her not moving. My doctor told me to start counting kicks at 28 weeks. so until then you can stay worry free and just enjoy the random movements. :)
