movements

how many times are you supossed to feel your baby move/ kick?

hi i feel my baby move alot he is really active but he does have his calm days. At my last appointment with the midwife she asked if he was moving and then she said you may have read in some books that your baby is supposed to move about 10 times aday but she said not to worry if he didnt because it all depends, all babys are different some are more active than other, but if you are worried just call your midwife or the hospital and let them no whats going just to put your mind at rest i am sure everything will be fine.take care.xx

im not a busy person, i used to feel her kick all the ime and now its stopped, i have to go to the hospital everyday to get put on monitor. her heartbeats good so we cnt understand why shes not kicking.

Hi, if your busy and moving around a lot you probably wont be aware of your baby moving, you will notice it more if your sitting down and relaxing. All baby’s move around differently to others it also depends on how far on you are in your pregnancy, some people keep a kick chart, where they keep a record of how many times there baby kicks or moves. I don’t think there is a certain amount of kicks or movements you are supposed to feel. Sometimes I cant feel anything and when I put my hand on my bump I can feel movement I guess my belly isn’t as sensitive as other peoples and lately my baby has not been kicking as much just moving a think its because as she gets bigger there is less room for her. My friend only feels her baby moving on a night b4 she goes to sleep but no other time this is normal for her were as I feel my baby moving more often.
