Lay on your side tonight with a big fully belly and start pushing pretty hard on your stomach below your belly button. My little one hates that and he will start moving. Good luck! And IF that doesnt work... Be patient you will feel your little one in no time!

The only time I feel the baby is if I'm sitting in a chair or driving. But, this is also my 3rd baby. I'm overweight and I didn't realize I was feeling either of my other kids until I was 18 weeks or so and was at my u/s.
I'm with you elisbu! I haven't felt my baby either. I had an appointment with my MW today and asked her when I should feel the baby move and she said normally around 17-18 weeks but since I have an anterior placenta it might take me longer to feel movement.

I feel the baby a lot when I sit on the edge of the couch and lean forward and put my elbows on my knees. It puts a lot of pressure on my abdomen so it's easier to feel the baby moving around.
I hear ya! The other night I laid in bed and tried to focus on feeling the baby move for like 10 minutes. I thought I could will it to happen! - how sad is that!!!!!!!!

Same here! Considering I feel perpetually gassy I keep trying to convince myself its the babe but I really doubt it. I have an anterior placenta also. Can't wait to finally be able to feel my baby!
Although, at the end of the day - I have had an easy pregnancy and feel blessed, so I try to keep my perspective
I try to 'will' the baby to move too!! I actually layed in bed for like, 10 extra minutes this morning asking baby to move and let me know he/she is there. haha. I've really only felt a few pops here and there. I am just looking forward to the daily assurance that there's a baby in there!
I am convinced that coffee is God's gift to mothers.
