Hi everyone
I am in my 22nd week right now. I had the ultrasound 10 days back and the baby was doing fine.
But I am still not able to feel the movements significantly. Few times I felt like something is goin gon in my stomach and I am guessing that those were baby movements but I am not sure.
And also the frequency is very less.
Is this okay? When does one start to really feel the movements frequently.
Please let me know your views.
Have a wonderful day Monx replied. Hi Parul,

I'm glad that you have also started concentrating on the feeling inside the stomach like me : )

No, I have not yet started the shopping for me & my Baby. But have seen some baby suits etc. This weekend we'll go the Baby furniture shop to see small Baby almirahs. I'm very excited for that !!! and then I have to buy few things for my self towards the preparation for the due-date like my gowns, feeding bras, and little tit-bits. But that will take some time. Most probable I'll buy those items during my 8th or 9th month only. Infact, I'll go for the baby's shopping also during that period. As I don;'t want to shop anything so early and then get bored by looking at it again & again. And by the time the baby will come it'll look like an old stuff to me.

What about you ???? Have u bought anything yet ???

Do write !

Yesterday, I had been for my Med Check-up and told my Doc. about the baby not moving much. It's just a few seconds in a day that I feels tapping inside. You know what she told me ?????

She said tum dhyaan nahi lagati ho. Lie down with the peace of mind and concentrate on your stomach. Then you'll feel baby moving here & there. She also made me hear baby's heartbeat and said you have to concentrate. And yes, believe me yesterday night and today afternoon I did the same and felt something moving. though movement was not very hard but for a longer duration I could able to feel it. That has made me feel happier today.

So, do the same and you'll also feel something (I'm sure) ALL THE BEST !!!

By the way I stay in South Delhi, India and here they don't disclose baby's gender and even I'm not very much interested to know as it is our first child so, don't have any expectation except for a normal & healthy child with normal delivery.

ENJOY YOUR BABY TAPS :) and do let me know the reponse.......... Rose vastani replied.

Hi Parul,

Good to know that you were able to feel something yesterday. See it works !!!! Every time you take a meal, lie down quitely and try to concentrate. You'll feel it. Its definetely the baby's movements. believe me !!! Actually being the first time experience of pregnancy, we are not able to feel exactly. We actually don't know how it feels. So, don't worry.......... I'll definetely share my Doctor's visit with you next week.

Regarding the gender of baby. I'm not very much interested to know, though I'm curious, but let it come as a surprise. (thats what me & my hubby agreed on) and as it is gonna be the first baby, it really doesn't matter. I just pray for a normal delivery and healthy baby. By the way I stay in South Delhi, INDIA.

Take care & Enjoy feeling your baby's movements after every meal. Monika replied. Hi Parul,

I guess this happens with the first time pregnancy as this is happening with me also. Look at me I'm in my 27th week and still the movements are very less. 3 weeks back I actually started feeling something in my stomach. It was for 10 odd days and then all of a sudden the movements have almost stopped. from the last 1-2 days again I have started feeling it better. I have an appointment with my doc this coming week, I'll ask this question to clarify the scene. Most of the people have suggested me that in the first preg. you start feeling it quite late but during the second time it becomes more respondant and but that time you are also experienced to feel the movements pro-actively. The Doc has suggested me that after every meal I should lie down and concentrate on my stomach, deep inside and quitely and feel the baby moving. Feels like someone in tapping from inside. Let me know if you are also facing the same. And don't worry I'll tell you more once I'll talk to the Doc next week.

Bye & take care..........
