sad

I know this sounds crazy but my baby isn't active often. I feel it kick and move for a little bit each day. I'm 21 weeks and I feel like since it doesn't move much that it doesn't like me or something is wrong. I'm just not super connected and it makes me literally want to cry. I feel like a bad mom and cry baby. :/

I'm 23 weeks and my baby has days where she's not as active. You have to remember that they still sleep a lot and still small enough to turn and you may not feel kicks due to the position. But if you ever feel like something isn't right don't hesitate to go and get checked out.

Dont worry it will become more of a reality around 30 weeks. You'll feel your baby more and this will help you grow more attached to he or she. Good luck, I was exactly the same way and sometimes I still feel detached but I assure you its normal. When the baby arrives there will be a whole new feeling of appreciation and accomplishment!

Don't be sad there will be times when the baby isn't as active as other days but it just means that they are growing and have less space to move around in so all they do is sleep if it really worry a you drink cold water put music on so he/she can hear (:
