I am six months pregnant due March 17. And I don't feel my.baby move. This is my first pregnancy. Should I be worried?

When was the last time you felt him move?

I don't know what it feels like actually. I feel something that may be kicking in my pelvic area but I don't know if that's him

By now you should be feeling flutters frequently unless you are obese. At 25 weeks you should be feeling your baby kick about 10 times an hour every several hours as babies have sleep cycles like we do.

What you need to do is drink a tall glass of ice cold orange juice or Coca Cola then go to bed with no TV, no radio, no cell phone, etc. Basically no external auditory stimulus. If you don't feel the baby move within an hour, you need to go to the L&D department where you are supposed to deliver so that your baby's movements and heart rate can be monitored.

Is what I said before fluttering? Like in my pelvic area? I definitely don't feel him move 10 times an hour. I'm not obese I now weigh 140. I'm just so scared.

Can you explain better what you are feeling?

I can try. Either when I'm sitting down or laying down Its like a throbbing feeling but its not throbbing in pain or anything that's the closest I can come to what it feels like.

Okay, thanks! What I want you to do is to go to the hospital you are supposed to deliver at. Tell them that you aren't feeling your baby move. They should monitor the fetal heart tones and they will also be able to hear the fetal movements on the monitor.

What you are explaining is not the typical feeling of fetal movement.
