Is It Normal for Fetal Movement to Be Irregular?

by admin

I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with by first baby. I am 23 years old and my pre-pregnancy weight was 110 lbs. I have only gained about 5 lbs. I thought that I had begun to feel movement a few weeks ago. The movement was very low in my abdomen, pretty much right above by pubic area. Since then, the movement has been extremely irregular. For example, 2 days ago in the morning if felt like the baby was going crazy! I felt movement sporadically all that day. Now for the last 2 days I haven't felt much of anything. But prior to the abundance of movement 2 days ago, it seemed that the movement was extremely irregular and would stop for whole days and then later I would feel it again. Is this normal? Could it be gas and not the baby since I am still so early in my pregnancy? Please help, I feel so paranoid. =/

Yeah it's normal. You just started feeling movement, right? So sometimes, depending on the positon your baby is in, you won't feel the movement, although he is moving in there. I started feeling movement with my baby low down too, and there never really is a pattern to their movement. He's probably moving lots, you just can't feel it right now.
