Its never ending. I have my glucose tolerance test next week and I am fairly certain its going to come back that Ive got gestational again. We have a diabetic alert dog. She can smell it when its high. I wasnt feeling too good the other day I felt like I swallowed an entire bowl of sugar after a small handful of gummy bears. She got in my face and would not leave me alone and kept pawing at me which is her sign for go check your sugar.
When did everyone start feeling consistent movement?
I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant, and although I've felt movement starting about two weeks ago it's pretty inconsistent. I usually only feel him (I can't believe I'm saying HIM!!!!) at night, I get so worried during the day and have been on the verge of calling my Dr. but I don't want to be "that" person.
I'm so glad you've put this as I'm the same! I'm 17w 2d and have felt flutters since 15 ish weeks so thought I'd feel her much more by now. But like yourself it's only in the evening. I was wishing I'd bought a Doppler to hear the heartbeat but knew if I wasn't doing it right that would just scare me more. I looked up today when the moment becomes more consistent and its between 22-25 weeks. If you don't feel consistency after that you call your midwife. As I type this I've had about 5 little tiny thumps! :)Quote:

With my first DS I would only feel him at night- I worked in the ER and would be constantly on my feet so I think the rocking induced his sleep during the day. Most women won't feel movement when they themselves are moving- it's when we sit quietly and wait for them to kick that we notice (or think we notice) they aren't moving enough! I wouldn't fret too much about it. I used to tap or lightly push my belly sometimes to "check" and he would punch back:)Quote:

Ugee -- I'm back to back docs appointments and preschool meetings for me and DS otherwise I'd be in there sooner! Im trying to be conscious of what I eat as if I already had a positive test just to keep things level. Im getting the crashes big time which is no good. I ended up in bed at 8 last night after a day of nothing and I could have fallen asleep standing up!
With DS he was a 15 week that I could feel occasionally and he became consistently on a schedule at about 22. With DD now I didn't for sure feel her until around 18 and just these last few days 26-27 week do I now feel her on a consistent schedule where I could start kick counting if I wanted. Hiccups have started too which drive me bonkers because hers are like a small earthquake. She better reorganize her schedule though LOL DS was a sleeper with small awake periods. She is definitely a mover with many short sleep periods!
I didnt feel constant moving untill 20 weeks
I was super worried , now its getting stronger every week :)
Nahri , how interesting is this dog ! So great to have her
That dog sounds so cool!

They can be trained to do it to act as service dogs to those who are diabetic but some will just naturally do it and you have to reinforce it. She was a natural talent that we reinforced. I was gestational with DS and could not figure out what her issue was and why she was getting in my face then I realized it was corresponding with high sugar readings after meals. So we rewarded her every time she did it and kept the training up over the years!
