Feeling LO?

I am 21W1D and I have not felt anything yet that I can say for sure was lo. Shouldnt I have felt it by now??? Anyone else not feel anything at 21w?

Also, I occasionally get a feeling of pressure. Like "someone" is trying to push their way out of my belly button. Is this lo? A few times it has moved accross my tummy, and a few times just holding still.

Im just waiting for a swift kick, this is my first lo, so I dont know the feeling I am waiting for.

 TIA ladies!

Re: Feeling LO?

  • I'm right there with ya! I've got nothin'! I hate it so much because it only breeds paranoia due to all the other mom's feeling stuff for weeks already! I know I have an anterior placenta - but still seems like I should be feeling SOMETHING!

    I have the same - the feeling of someone twisting a fist in my stomach - but that's only occasionally. Maybe it's my inexperience in being my first child - I dont know what to feel for? It's definitely frustrating. My doppler is getting good use though. I check it nightly now instead of a couple times a week.

    I'm jealous of the others if anything lol! I know eventually I'll be wishing I didn't feel anything again because he's keeping me up or kicking me in the sternum lol but for now, I'm just plain jealous!

  • I usually just feel the pressure with this baby. Hasn't been until almost 22 weeks that she has "kicked". It is either the pressure/pushing feeling or I get this slight taps/pokes.

    This baby is really low so I don't get alot of feeling but at every u/s she is moving so I don't worry so much.

    I'd say the feeling you are having is for sure baby and this being my 4th pregnancy I can assure you depending on where baby is you will feel more/less movement.

  • I had one day last week where our little guy was moving around like crazy.  It almost feels like tiny muscle spasms in my belly because he's not big enough yet for me to feel real kicks.  I've barely felt him since then...but I seem to go a few days at a time with nothing I can feel, then he'll go crazy and let me know he's still in there.

    Def. sounds like you may be feeling the LO! I've been feeling movement since 16w and it started out like flutters (almost like someone tapping their fingers across my lower tummy).  Lately I feel more "kick" like movement, rather then a flutter. And like you said, the movement can either be in just one spot, or move across your tummy!
