how far along you were when you started feeling movement? My cousin is 21 weeks and swears she hasn't really felt anything yet ... I'm pretty sure I started feeling little stuff at 16 wks and bigger stuff at 18 weeks. I keep wondering what's goin on with her ...
Re: anyone remember ...
I think it was around 19 weeks. Some people feel it much later than others. My mom said she never felt anything until 24 weeks. And she was anything but overweight.
Is it possible that your friend could have placenta previa?
she doesn't have placenta previa ... and she's tiny!
Those that feel it later usually have an anterior placenta. Where the placenta is in front and acts like a pillow so the mom doesn't feel it till the baby gets bigger and more forceful. Look at the Link below and look at the location section. There is nothing wrong with having that it is just the position of the placenta and where the baby implanted.
https://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5247,00.htmlI am tiny, normal placenta. I did not feel anything until 23 weeks with my first, about 21 weeks with my second, and 18 weeks with number three.
22 or 23 weeks. It seemed like forever!!
But, I am plus sized, and was made aware it could take longer for me to feel him.
If she has an anterior placenta it can take a long time for her to feel movement.
I had 2 of them and the only reason I felt the boys at 16 weeks was because I am tiny anf they were bumping into each other.
this exactly! I had many Dr's appts and all said I had a more than normal active baby and it nothing's changed lol.
It was right around 18 weeks that I felt the pops, but it was another week or so before I was sure it was actually the baby I was feeling.
If she has an anterior placenta she wouldn't feel movement for quite a while.
