I'm almost 22 weeks now and I haven't felt LO kick or move! How long was it before any of you felt LO move?

    I've heard girls say it can take up to 25 weeks before you feel anything.

     

    Don't worry.  Or, call your doctor and see what they think.

    You've had an U/S, right?  Did the doc say anything about the baby's movement? If your doc isn't too concerned, then I would try to relax and wait for it to come later.  I know there is a lot of variation due to placenta location/body shape & size, how you are carrying, if you have lots of ab muscles, and probably other reasons too.

    Or you could try my method to feel kicking, which is eating a greasy McDonald's breakfast and OJ.  Worked pretty well!

    She is my first and I didn't feel her until almost 21 weeks.  I was a size 14 pp and only 5'4'' and was told sometimes if you are heavier it will take longer to feel them move.  I will be 24 weeks on Thursday and DH has only felt her  lightly from the outside 3 times.

    Yeah, I got one at 18 weeks. The technician said that she was a serious mover and her legs kick a lot, so I guess she didn't seem concerned, but we didn't really talk much on it. I was a size 16 pp so maybe that's a reason why! I'll bring it up at my next OB appointment. :]

    Dangit, now I want a McDonald's meal... I need to make my SO take me there soon... :D
