No more baby flutters?

Hi .
I am 9w5d pregnant and at week 6 I started feeling flutters. I knew all along that this was the baby moving around. This past Tues I had a real bad cramp lasted about 2 mins and some Diarriah. After that I have not be able to feel no more flutters. It's kind weird or ironic that ever since I had the bad cramp that I havent felt no flutters. By the way I had no bleeding.

So, people around me told me that I shouldnt feel the baby move at 9 weeks. But, even my doctor agreeded that some woman can feel their baby move as I did. I am worried the baby heart stoped since I am not able to feel the baby? I have a doctors appt tues this week coming up but I have to sit all weekend wondering and worried I lost another pregnancy. I guess after u miscarry 5 times like myself every little thing will worry you. Please if any one has had this problem I would love to hear what u have to say.

Thank you and God Bless

Hi adgal,

Thanks for your notes and concern! Well my cervix is short and I knew from day one that I will need to have surgery called cerclage. After the birth of my son in 2003 I had major problems with his delivery. So, this is no shock to me at all. I am more scared about the  subchronic hematoma. Ive never heard of that before and as I have done alot of searching on the net I still dont really get it. All I have seen on here was I will more and likley miscarry. And that there is nothing anyone can do for me....

So, not saying that I am happy that you went thur this. But, it helps others to know that they are not alone in this. Can I ask you what information was given to you about  subchronic hematoma? How big was yours? Did you have any cramps? And how did you cope with it?

Thank you again for your kind words and concern

God Bless you!

I just read on your profile that you have to have surgery to keep the baby?  May I ask what the surgery is for?  I am sorry you are experiencing so many complications.  Good luck.

I had a subchronic hematoma while pregnant with my son.  It is what caused my first trimester bleeding.  It did eventually bleed itself out with no harm to him whatsoever, and he is a happy, healthy 10 month old now.

Perhaps you are one that felt movement at 6 weeks.  I do have to say that that is not the norm, so I hope no one reads this and panics because you don't feel movement yet.  As Beccab said, it is far more common to feel movement mid second trimester.  A 6 week fetus is typically only a little more then a cm long.

To All,
Well I went to the ER room because my dr office was closed for a whole week. Thank goodness I did! As, what I wrote above I know that I was feeling my baby since 6 weeks and it stopped as of 9 weeks. This was all due to a bad cramp that I had follow by a bad b/m.

I got a ultrasound and it showed that I have a SUBCHONONIC HEMATOMA. Which means that I have a blood clot in the bottom of my placenta. The ER is very sure this is why I felt the cramps. Because the placenta is pulling away from the baby and that can be painful. I was told that the baby is aware of the change of my body and that is why I havent felt any movement. Durning the ultrasound I did feel one movement and I believe that is because of the u/s noise. The ER said that the u/s has wave sounds and the fetus can pick it up.

So, it get to the bottom of what I am writing about. I have a very hight chance that I will miscarry this baby soon. 50/50 . There is no cure, no surgery or medicatation that can be given for this. All you can do is wait and see if it happens or not. And, thats the worst part is waiting to see if your going to miscarry.

I just want other woman to know that if they feel their baby move and then all a sudden they dont. Please go to the ER room and dont wait!. I knew I felt my lil one at 6 weeks because I know my body very well. This should be a caution of concern if you do not feel the baby.

Thank you for all that read and responded to my post.

Maybe it was gas your feeling my baby at 6 weeks was only still a tadpole, but my midwife says not feeling the baby everyday before 26/28 weeks is nothnjng to be worried about because the baby is still so small n still has plenty of room to move around being unnoticed

I too have had multiple miscarriages, so I know it's impossible to not worry.  I had 5 before having my son, and everything that happened convinced me that I had lost him.  He is healthy and 10 months old now.

Not feeling any movement or flutters at almost 10 weeks is not cause for concern at all.  I know it's possible, but it is unlikely that was baby movement you already felt.  Even if it was, and it's gone now, it does not at all mean baby has been lost.  

At your Dr.'s appointment, ask for an ultrasound.  At this stage that is the best tool to reassure you that all is well.  Take good care, I know how scary this all is after you have been through so much.
