Not feeling baby yet

raceyrae

With DD, I had started feeling her by now but nothing yet that I can pinpoint as DD#2.  I just had my big u/s last week so I know all was well but I find this part of 2nd tri to be difficult -- you don't have the aches and pains from 1st tri to remind you you're pg all the time and yet you're not feeling the baby move yet.  I can't complain -- as with DD, my pregnancy so far has been very low key (I didn't have m/s with either) but I could really use a flutter or something to put my mind at ease.  Especially since I thought you usually feel DC#2 before you did with DC#1 and I haven't yet.  Anyone else not feel DC#2 before DC#1?

Me. I felt DS for sure (flutters) arond 14-15 weeks. I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and I have felt things here and there, but nothing that I can be 100% certain is baby. I'm glad I have an appt today so I can reassure myself.

Did your u/s tech mention if you had an anterior placenta? I've had one with both kids and haven't felt much until 19.5 weeks both times.

I don't recall her mentioning this but someone on my local board just brought this up as a possibility to.  I'm wondering now if this is the case, especially given how hard it was for my dr. to find her heartbeat the last time I went in.  I'm going to ask at my next appointment in 2 weeks.

I felt both of mine around the same time - 21-22 weeks. ?I had/have an anterior placenta, so it takes longer for me to feel them. ?

with both babies I started to feel consistent movement around 21 weeks--I thought I would feel DD 2 sooner but I didn't....

I thought I would feel this baby a lot earlier too, but not until 18-19 weeks, same with DS, no consistency of movement until 22 weeks.  Now that this baby has started, I feel movement more than I ever did DS through my whole pregnancy, which my dr says is b/c this baby is more active and the positioning is completely different.  I never felt DS much b/c he was breech, this baby feels like he or she is coming out the side of my stomach due to transverse positioning of the baby.
