Q for moms w/ 2+ or the few of you STM who are 15+ weeks

 For some reason I thought that with my 2nd pregnancy I would feel baby earlier (felt 1st baby at 18 weeks) and I am 16 weeks and haven't felt a thing..  of course it has my head spinning and I don't have an appointment until later next week... is this normal? I lie still and try gently pushing on my lower belly and nothing.  Maybe it is still too early?!

I looked back and with my first I felt him at 17w1d.  I was 16 weeks when I felt my second. I'm now 15w3d and don't think I've felt the baby move yet. I was doing some reading last night and the baby basically doubles in weight from week 15-17 (2.5 oz to 5 oz.) so I'm thinking by week 17 I'll be feeling something. I know what it's like to want to ... I find myself poking at her to see if I can get her to poke back.

It could be too early. But I am 16 weeks and found out I have an anterior placenta so that could also be an explanation.

Just remember that each child is different. Some are not as active as others. No need to worry!

I just turned 16 weeks and have just in the past couple days felt what I'm finally 99% sure is baby. It will all happen in good time! I wouldn't worry about it too much

With my first, I felt him around 16w, my second around 14w and this one I thought I was feeling around 13w, but was not sure.

Now I'm certain I feel her, I'm 15w2d today and I'm getting pops near my belly button.

I know women who have had 4 babies and not felt the 4th until 20w. Just depends on how active baby is at kicking in the spots you can feel it.

Thanks everyone this makes me feel a bit better and i may have a tilted uterus which I hadn't thought of until I read these... Had one last time so maybe that is it thank you!!

Pregnant with my 4th and I feel something but not sure if it's the baby. I have sit very still and I move my hand over my belly and usually I feel a little movement.
