Hi Ladies! Ive been having alot of fear about my pregnancy this time around. I am 17 weeks and 5 days. This is my 3rd baby so Ive been able to feel movement alot sooner. Baby was on a schedule to be very active at 9pm everyday. I really looked forward to the "playtime"we had after my other 2 went to bed. The problem is that for the past week i have felt NO movement at all. should I be worrieed? I called doc and havn't recieved an answer yet. Worried and then I'm worried that Im jumping the gun.

I wouldn't worry at all. I have had 5 children and never felt any until 20 weeks. My last one was post TT and had an anterior placenta which made movement even more difficult to feel. I don't think I felt him really good until 23 weeks. The baby may have moved into a spot that is harder to feel.

I think that the older we get and the more pregnancies we have the more fear we have. I had much more anxiety with the last too. I hope you can relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

With my first pregnancy I felt him early too and then he went on a 1.5 week vacation for some reason.  I was super worried and then it picked up again. 
I know it's hard to not worry, I'd wait until your doc calls back...of course, they'll probably give you the schpeel "it's too early...blah, blah, blah" even though YOU know what you've been feeling. 

Drink some OJ or some caffiene or ice water and see if that perks them up.  I am just starting to feel baby A tickle my left side now at 15 weeks.  I look forward to it too but it's not regular yet. 

Maybe your little one just forgot they were on a schedule?  :-) 

Good luck and keep us posted!
