I don't think I'll ever feel beginning movement...

Because I'm so gassy!  Seriously, how can I tell what is flutters and what is gas if I'm constantly gassy?!

Same here.  I swear I feel things all of the time but there around the area on my stomach where my belly button is (except off to the sides, but at that height) and I know my uterus isn't even up that far yet.

 

Wondering what the heck those feelings are.

I feel the same way, only not gassy.  Just very little flutters.  I'm starting to think I will NEVER feel this child move.

I'm a couple of weeks ahead of you, and I don't feel anything.

I never had the fluttery/gassy feelings. For me, the baby is pretty unmistakably baby and feels more like rolls and kicks (even at the beginning).

Could just be gas.  I'm preggers with my first and fully expect to not feel any movement for another few weeks...they say with your first you don't feel movement as early as with subsequent pregnancies.

 

I'm sure you'll feel it sooner or later.

Haha, well once they start, you will know! Trust me! Some of the little flutters could be confused with gas. But it will start soon and happen quick!  Just wait til your LO jabs you in the ribs or takes up kick boxing and your bladder is the target!

The ultrasound tech made a great point when I talked to her about movement two weeks ago.  She said that many, many women don't feel distinct movement until 22 weeks +, but people expect movement so much earlier because books say that you can feel movement as early as 16 weeks.  For that reason, there are a lot of women between 16-22 weeks who are walking around disappointed at the lack of distinct movement.

Good point- my technician at my NT scan pointed out the the placenta (I think she said it was the placenta) was on top so I shouldnt expect to feel any early movements because I have extra padding - I guess it is normally below the baby. She told me not to expect anything until at least 20-22 weeks. But she did reveal the gender at 13 weeks

You can take gas-x during pregnancy, that may help. Also, you may be eating something that gives you gas, maybe try adjusting your diet and see if you get any relief.
