    My ob told me u wont feel baby steadily until about 24 weeks. Im 23 weeks now and i still dont feel her steadily. When i was 17 weeks i felt her a few time throughout the day and i could go a day without feeling her at all. If u r concerned contact your doc. Your pain sounds like round ligaments and normal back pain associated with growing uterus.

    Drink a glass of cold water, and lay on your back on the couch and see if you can feel some fetal movement after you drink your glass of cold water, and if you do not feel as much movement and it still concerns you, then call your doctor or go to the ER right away, it is better to be safe than sorry♥♥♥

    Call your OB. She will probably want to see you soon. It could be nothing, as movements at the stage of pregnancy you are in are rather inconsistent. But, I was always told to call right away if anything seemed amiss.

    They will not think you're silly or wasting their time. And almost all clinics have on-call doctors and someone to answer the phone 24/7.
