Movement

I’m nearly 24 weeks and only started feeling the baby move over the last couple of weeks. It’s just tiny flutters, little bubbles, all still really infrequent and only a few times a day like after meals if I’m sitting very still. Some days I barely feel them at all. I feel like everyone else feels them all day long and strong kicks etc. My placenta is low so should not be affecting it. Do you think it’s quite far along to still only be feeling tiny movements, anyone else experiencing the same?

I'm intrigued by this as I have a low placenta too! I'm 22 weeks and not felt many movements just little bubbles x

From what I’ve read a low placenta doesn’t affect feeling movement as it’s not like it’s blocking feeling kicks from the front but I hear more and more people say they’ve not felt much. I wonder if the baby also sits low and that’s why….

I am 23 weeks and only have really infrequent movements, sometimes during the day now but mostly at night. Its still very much flutters and like a fish is swimming every now and then. She had the hiccups the other day which was interesting as felt the movement and could see it looking at my stomach x

You can raise it with your midwife. I heard today that feeling movement at any time from 18-24 weeks is normal but if movement still hasn't been felt by 24 weeks, they can do an ultrasound to check

Hiya! I’m the exact same don’t worry, 24 weeks on Monday and still only got the bubbles / flutters with no pattern or consistency! The unknown is so hard 😅 But everyone I spoke to said it’s so normal especially first time around! If you are worried at all drop your midwife a message, mine is so good with reassuring me when needed xx
