not until you're about 24-26wks or later do the movements become totally regular..........however, if i were you, i'd slip into my dox office and ask them to take a quick listen with the doppler..........they'll do it without an appt. and for free.........you could go first-thing monday morning.....until then, i bet you'll feel movement again..........i started feeling movement at week 18 too..........but it WAS sporadic.........now i'm almost 27 wks, and i can tell when she's sleeping cuz she simply doens't move, but when she's awake, she lets me know for sure she's there........but i don't think that started happening so strongly til i was at least 24 wks.............don't worry...:D
