18 weeks today and no movement?
Baby has grown to the size of a sweet potato now and I still can't feel him/her! This is baby #2 for us and everyone has told me "you'll feel this one sooner." Liars!
My 2nd pregnancy ladies- when did you start to feel baby # 2 move constantly? I can't remember with baby #1; I think it was around 20 weeks.
Our anatomy scan isn't until December 23rd, I'm just getting worried. I remember what baby movement feels like when you're 8-9 months pregnant with your belly rolling all over, not these beginning stages!

My MARRIED Bio
Glad I'm not the only one! I also thought I'd feel the baby sooner, but so far I've only felt things that *might* be baby, and those rumblings are really inconsistent ~ like I think for sure I felt the baby, but then I don't feel anything for days and days.
I can't wait until I KNOW it's baby and I feel that comforting pop daily.
This is my second baby and with DD I felt flutters etc around this time, and I have felt a few definite kicks but those were days ago, and not really feeling anything like this again for a few days. It could be a lot of things. I thing my placenta is anterior (during the NT scan they thought this may be where it was going) so I am counting on that for now. I am going for my scan on the 4th (boo I have to wait until almost 22 weeks) so we won't know until then. I saw on here that a few other moms who have anterior placentas their second time around didn't feel definite movement until 22 to 25 weeks.
i know the apprehension you are feeling because I am feeling it too. I am telling myself to try to not worry and NOT call the doctor because there are no signs that anything is wrong. I bet we both start feeling something soon!
I'm glad you posted this! With ds I felt him first at 19 weeks and then fairly consistently after 22 weeks.
This time I was sure I felt movement during week 16 and was so excited. Then nothing in the last 10 days! I do know that I have an anterior placenta, like I did with ds. But I still thought I'd feel movement earlier. My scan is on the 22nd and it can't get here soon enough.
As an update to my earlier post: At dinner tonight (which was a scumpcious BBQ Chicken and Ranch salad compliments of my loving husband) I felt movement!
I guess I'm too busy running around after my two year old to realize the movements sometimes, or maybe it was the food that jump started this?
Maybe you ladies can try my trick? BBQ chicken. Ranch. Organic salad mix and we Pittsburghers put french fries on our salads...
Thanks for all the posts back.. now I'm just waiting for that anatomy scan!
I started feeling little kicks here and there about a week ago.. but only little ones.. not constant or a crazy martial artist like my son was.
We have our anatomy scan on the same day too!! crazy!! I think you probably feel him in there, just are dismissing it for tummy grumbling or something like that.. because really, that is what it feels like..
Don't worry, we will be able to feel constant movement very soon!
