started feeling baby move

Started feeling baby move around 13 weeks and now I'm 16 weeks 5 days... for the past few days I don't feel as much movement I felt him/her like 10 times a day and now it's only a few... worried something might be wrong I'm a first time mom and I don't know what to expect

Babies have slow days and energized days. :) Also every baby is different and has different schedules. Always go with your gut though. Peace of mind means a lot to a new mommy.

I didn't say that to freak her out.
jesus.
I was just saying if she's nervous, to go see a dr before her actual appt because of what I went through.

I'm gonna be 36 weeks on Saturday. My entire pregnancy I notice sometimes baby doesn't move for a long while. My baby is perfectly healthy. :) I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I felt my baby early on too. I felt her every days from 15 weeks on then all of a sudden at 17 weeks, she didn't move at all. It worried me so much! But I went to my appointment that week and her heart was beating as strong as ever. :) Then at 18 weeks i sawher kick on my tummy for the first time! The babies are still so small at thatpoint they can hide their movements. :) Try not to worry mama.

No I'm not that nervous .. Wednesday is only 6 days away and if something is wrong there is nothing I can do but I'm sure my baby is fine.. I move around alot so many I'm just not feeling it because it not focusing on the baby but when I drink cold water and lay on my left side I feel lots of flutters

Thanks for making me feel even worse... it's not something I'd want to hear I felt the baby move so I know everything is okay just not as much

I found out I lost a baby at my 16wks appt. but apparently his heart stopped at around 15wk. I had no cramping or bleeding or anything to make me think he'd died in the womb.
I could feel him moving up until a few days before that appt and i didn't think anything of it, because the baby was so small I figured the movements wouldn't be consistent, they'd be off and on.
I was induced and delivered him in the hospital. even at 15wks his body from top of head to bum was tip of my finger to where my arm starts. definitely big enough to feel him moving around.
please go sooner to the Dr - if your gut is saying you haven't felt him/her move, then get it looked into :(

Most first time moms don't feel their little ones until 18-22 weeks so you're definitely fine! If you are super concerned you can always call your doctor, but you should be fine!
