I'm 14 weeks 4 days pregnant.. when i was 13 weeks 1 day i felt flutters all day, trust me its the baby, went for an ultrasound, heard the hb, doc says looking good.. since then i havent felt flutters again, which has been over a week, i dont know why i'm worried, just wondering once flutters start, how often should i feel them..

Yeah it's completely normal and OK! Even until you're well into your 20 wks (sometimes even as far as 24 or 25wks depending on your anatomy!) baby will sometimes "disappear" because there's still enough room for him/her to move front to back and flip around...if baby is pushing/kicking against the back of the uterus or where the placenta is, you most likely won't feel it. It's not until later (closer to 30wks) that baby won't be able to move away and the movements will be continuous and daily...so don't worry :-D

This is my 3rd baby and even so I worry when I don't feel flutters even though I know it's normal, lol, but I also remember how much it can hurt once they get really big so I try to treasure the little bumps and nudges while it lasts ;-)

You shouldn't worry. For now they will be like that. Every now and then. I'm in the same boat. We're lucky cus some women don't even start feeling movement til like 16wks and more. As you get into the middle of your 2nd tri you will feel it more:)
