Worried about baby

Well basically, I am 19 weeks pregnant to the day. For the past 3 weeks or so I have felt the baby moving, and for about a week it has been getting quite frequent and strong, strong enough for my boyfriend to have felt the baby.
Anyway, a few days ago my boyfriend was pressing down slightly on my belly, and the baby kicked him quite hard. Since then, nearly 3 days ago baby doesn't seem to be moving, not only that but I've stopped having to pee all the time and during the night, and I'm sleeping again!
Is it just a coincidence?
Got my scan on tues, so worried something might be wrong though, especially with this being our first baby I don't know what to expect.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    It could just be that the babys back is against your tummy so you won't be feeling the kicks. As for the less peeing thing you probably just haven't drank enough. As even if the worst had happened you would still have the same pressure on the bladder so try not to worry.
    I had several times when i worried that i hadnt felt the baby move and all was ok, but if really worried i would contact your midwife for reassurance. She can come out and check heartbeat.
    Btw congratulations as i didn't know you were pregnant.

    Thanks. Glad for the support, got a little prod or two from the baby a few minutes ago so feeling abit better now. As you've said, probably just turned around now.

    ooh congratulations! I know you've felt it now already, but I was going to agree that the baby might just have moved around. Bring it up with your midwife anyway so that they can check and put your mind at ease.

    Congratulations! I am 19 weeks pregnant to the day too! It's great that you have been able to feel the baby for 3 weeks, i've maybe felt the baby 3 times in the entire time? This is my first baby too, so i haven't got a clue what is normal and what isn't. I don't have my scan for another 10 days though, so i guess i'll find out then. Let us know how your scan goes!

    It's probably different for each baby so I guess there's no need to worry.

    Yeah it really does depend on the baby, and the size of yourself too (i.e. stomach tonedness etc). :)

    Oh yeah, I realised this morning even though my baby doesn't react to sugary stuff or chocolate, he/she LOVES toast

    mine used to get active after any meal really, but chocolate was always a winner for getting me kicked in the ribs.
    When I went for my 3D scan they suggested on thre leaflet drinking lucozade or eating chocolate about 30-45 minutes before the scan to get baby nice and active.

    I didn't think u were meant to drink anything like that when pregnant. Is it just a one off quick sip thing?
  • Options
    Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    well its full of crap and colourings, so i wouldnt drink it pregnant or not, but thats what they said on the leaflet. I just ate the chocolate :yum:

    Sounds like a plan. Don't suppose there is any trick to make sure baby doesn't have his/her legs crossed??
