My sister in law is pregnant with her 2nd child at the moment at 20 weeks she was worried because she hadn't felt any movement she just went up to the local hospital and they just checked the babies heart beat to check it was all ok, which it was. 2 weeks later she had her ultrasound the babies perect but just lazy. A few weeks on shes wishing the baby would stop kicking as shes starting to feel very uncomfortable. Don't panic just go and get the heart beat checked. Goodluck

 Well what I would say is you sound worried about not feeling movement. Being worried isn't good for the baby so contact your midwife in between. She won't turn around and be angry. It's her job to look after you and your baby and if you're not happy let her know. Hope everything goes well for you.

I want to thank you for replying, my first baby was a girl and she was born in 2002 so it is a long time ago but i am pretty sure i felt her move by now, she was very active when i was carrying her, the second a lost did not feel that one move to I lost that child about 16 weeks. I go for my next scan 2 week scan before I see my mid wife then but i am not sure if i should contact my mid wife in betwen.

It very much depends on the individual. Had you felt your other baby move by this stage? Have you been ill/losing weight during the pregnancy? It might be best just to talk it over with your midwife to be sure. It's probably fine. Some babies(usually boys) are less active in the womb!
