Baby movement.

ok mommies! I am a new mommy & I freak out about everything. I'm 18 weeks and I find out Tuesday what we're having. I've been seeing where I should be feeling kicks and such. But I very rarely even feel anything, does anyone else experience that? Like, I just feel little flutters and jerks every now and then.

It's normal. I didn't feel definitive kicks until 21ish weeks if I remember correctly.

18 weeks is still early.

consistent movement may not come until the later 20s.

No, you're good, I didn't feel pregnancy #1 till week 22. Feeling flutters and jerks is above and beyond what I'd felt by then! 

Preg #2 is a different story - felt those flutters at 10 weeks. I think the things we read take an average. 

First v second, placental placement, uterus placement - it all affects what you'll feel and when.

I'm a FTM and I didn't start feeling kicks until 22 weeks.

I started feeling little taps at 20 weeks, although I realized I had actually been feeling them for 3-4 weeks prior to that and just didn't know what they were yet. I'd guess that if I got pregnant again, I'd knowingly feel them at 16-17 weeks.

Its VERY normal! Like others have said, all pregnancies are different. With my first I felt at 20 weeks, with this one I already started feeling at 16w3d (but this is my 2nd time around). You will soon enough feel like you have a soccer player in there!

I didnt feel flutters or kicks until 22 weeks. I have anterior placenta, and even now at 29 weeks the movement is not consistent.

Don't worry about it....doctors will only be worried if you haven't felt anything at around 25 weeks!
