Anyone not feel any movement until 3rd tri?

j11skate

I do have an anterior placenta but even my ob thinks I should feel something by now.  I have not felt one thing regarding movement.  My LO is fine on ultrasounds/doppler, heartbeat is always good, all organs etc. look great, good amount of amniotic fluid...  I am somewhat heavy (low 200's) but I find it odd that I still haven't felt her move.  I went in for an ultrasound to check on her today.  My ob is off on Fridays so I won't hear from her until next week.

Did anything similar happen to anyone else (you or someone you know)?  Also, do you think it is possible to never feel movement?

I didn't really feel movement with either of my boys until the 3rd trimester

With DS2, I also had an anterior placenta, and I'm not going to sugar coat it, but I didn't even feel a lot of movement at all.

Honestly, it really sucks. I never felt a strong "connection" during my PG's because of this.

I'm sorry you are dealing with this.

I would say that maybe you should start to feel *some* movement, but it probably won't be consistent or in patterns at all......

That's what I'm afraid of.  What got me through all the morning sickness and first tri issues was reassuring myself that I would eventually get to feel her (and DH too).  My ob did tell my dh last week that he may never feel her.  I do feel somewhat disconnected as the pregnancy goes on.  Even my husband will say, "How's Alyson doing today?" and I keep telling him to not ask that because I really don't know!    Plus it's hard when other people keep asking about movement.

I know you don't want to hear this (but since I'm honest, I will say it...), but my DH only felt DS1 about 3 times and he NEVER felt DS2.

I had a doppler and it was the ONLY thing that got me through my PG's. DH & I would listen every night together!

Trust me, I appreciate your honesty!  I'm tired of people saying, "It'll happen"  Boy, these comments sure do remind me of when we were going through IF treatments!

It's also hard being on here and hearing others discuss how special it is to feel the movement.  I kept thinking it would come, and it still could, but at this point I'm trying to not get my hopes up since it's already 26 weeks.

I didn't even have an anterior placenta and hardly ever felt DD.  Probably less then a handful of times and Dh only felt her once or at least he said he did, maybe just said that to make me feel better?  It was kind of disappointing, now she is a very active almost 2 yr. olf though!

I was a good 24 weeks before I was feeling movement on a regular basis.  I felt something around 17 weeks and then again a few times between then and 24 weeks, but it wasn't much.

My OB actually sent me for a "piece of mind" ultrasound just to confirm that everything was okay because I wasn't feeling anything.  She wanted to make sure fluid levels were good.  It was funny, the u/s tech would detect movement and we could see it on the monitor and she kept asking if I could feel it.  She was also surprised that I wasn't feeling what we were seeing.  

 

I hope you start feeling it soon, it's so amazing!
