Overwhelmed

Anyone else feel very overwhelmed? 18 weeks today and can feel flutters but not constant or consistent so can’t help but worry, then thinking about everything that needs buying for when the baby is here and worrying about storage 🫠

Is this your first baby? I have barely felt any movements at all and nearly 19 weeks. My midwife said this is completely normal and that I may not feel him until as late as 20-24 weeks.

Yeah first @Cae x

I've not felt flutters since Saturday and I keep trying to make baby move. I'm 18 weeks tomorrow

@Nina yesterday or last week? Are you going to ride it out of ring maternity?

I haven't felt movements yesterday/today. They say you don't get a pattern until around 25 weeks or so. Will just ride it out for now and see what happens x

They dont have a pattern of kicks until around 25 ish weeks, you probably wont feel much at 18 weeks to be honest. With my first I never felt her until 22 weeks everyone different but I never seen regular or an obvious chance in kicks until 30 weeks. If your worried ring you midwife and she will probably use a Doppler to check heart rate but the hospital won’t put you on a monitor for reduced movements until your 24 weeks+ x
