i had the same prob and also was very stressed out during my 4th /5th month and the doc adviced me complete rest for a month. i dint follow it to the t but things changed and my placenta has movedand now there are good chances of a normal delivery which is not possible if u have a low lying placenta.plz check ith ur doc and avoid any kind of physical and mental stress.

The best person to guide you on this will be your gynecologist who will be able to tell you if your baby is developing well on all parameters. Initially the movements feel more like a gentle flutter because even at 6 months the baby is quite small and you have to feel the movement thru so many layers like the fluid arund the baby, the wall of the uterus, muscles and organs around the uterus and then lastly your skin. Movements are more obvious in the 7th and 8th month. in the 9th month baby has less space to move and the movements may be not so strong. Check with your doctor and also your prenatal classes will give you a lot of real and practical information. Cheer up:)
