Haven't felt movement yet..is that normal?

Kermie53 · September 2013

I'm just 19 weeks today but haven't felt any movement yet from baby

Sometimes I'm wondering if maybe I have felt it but don't know what it feels like! Everyone seems to say you'll know it when you feel it though.

I go this week for the mid-pregnancy u/s, so I can ask the doctor there about it. Is this normal, or should I call my main doctor? I have another appt with her on 10/8.

Totally normal,especially if you an anterior placenta - do you know? With my first I did have an AP and didn't feel him until around 23 weeks. The second I didn't have an AP and it was still 20+ weeks before I felt him.

I didn't feel baby girl until 22 weeks. It's not uncommon.

Definitely normal. With DS I didn't feel him until near 20 weeks. This time around I have an anterior placenta (in the front). Up until the last week or so I haven't felt any movement in the front, only low in my pelvis. Now that the placenta is a lot smaller in ratio to my uterus I can feel a bit more movement in the front.

Just like the rest said its absolutely normal! I didn't feel my LO until 21 weeks the dr said I'm right on schedule for a FTM

Normal...it's just because you see some people feeling things so early, it's a little discouraging when you don't feel it lol but I'm a FTM...22..almost 23 weeks and I've just started feeling some movement the last few days, not what I would call kicking...more like rolling or moving? Just a strange feeling lol but I'm hoping thats how it starts off....

i am 20 weeks and am facing the same problem, but at night, i drink orange juice, and i can feel her movements, not an actual karate kick...some do, others dont..but that works for me.

It's normal. You should feel baby sometime in the next few weeks.

I started feeling LO at about 19-20weeks but you may find they're moving at night while you're asleep so you don't notice.

I started feeling movement pretty early and now at 18 weeks, my husband can feel him. Like another poster said... It's possible it happens when you're asleep. I wake up to use the bathroom once or twice a night and he's usually moving around then! Don't worry, I think I'm actually unusual in the timing, it's very common to not feel anything until later. My sister didn't believe me when I told her I started feeling the baby! She never felt her kids until after 20 weeks!
