Hi all im 16+1 preg, and i started to feel flutters a couple of weeks ago... i only feel it maybe every second day,. or maybe once a day either, how often are u meant to feel baby move at this stage? i cant rem on my others as i didnt feel movement till 18wks or over, im preg with baby #4... i just get worried when i dont feel baby move all the time, im prob over thinking.. thanks

My daughter is very low into my pelvic area so sometimes i couldn't feel her for a day or so but now im 7 months and i feel her every day :) i was like you and worried that i couldnt feel her i would even jiggle my belly to get a response :p they say not to worry about kick counts til about 27 weeks and even then that rule isnt always set in stone its more like once your baby starts moving every day you should know a pattern and when to worry if there's a drastic change

I felt flutters around 18 weeks real kicks much further along. Once your over 25 weeks or so then the kicks will start. You're fine your only 16 weeks and at least your feeling flutters. Congrats!

@cindy82 I'm thinking of buying one when I become pregnant I hoping to get my bfp on Easter :) I always wanted one with my kids and will deff want one this time around to ease my mind

As far as wat my OB has said u need to worry about baby movements seriously once u are over 26 weeks. B4 that stage u will obviously feel lot lesser frequent kicks n punches. Try sensing movements everyday after ur breakdast as its the time wen ur baby is most activ.

It's normal right now to just feel it  once in a while as baby still really small. Sometimes I wouldn't feel mine for over a day. I have a fetal Doppler so that rested my mind some
