Not feeling pg (vent) :(

This really sucks! This is my 2nd pg & last time I felt movement by 15-16 weeks. Even though I've heard you feel movement earlier the 2nd time, I'm approaching 18 weeks and NOTHING. Now that I'm finally over the horrendous m/s, I don't even feel pg anymore b/c I have no movement. The ob asked about movement at my 16 wk appt. but I had nothing. It almost makes me want to go buy a Doppler to make sure everythings okay. Even worse my big u/s appt. isn't until Jan 12th! How can 2 pregnancies be sooooo different?? Ugghhh!!!!!

    :(  sorry to hear!  This is my 1st preg & it was frustrating to not feel anything until 20+ wks, I can only imagine how annoying it must be fore a 2nd preg!!

    Try not to worry too much, maybe you're carrying this baby different from the first one & that's why you can't feel kicking yet.

    Have faith... Every pregnancy is different and depending on how your carring you may not feel it for a while.  I didn't start feeling movement until 21 weeks and 23 weeks for kicking.

    It will happen...

    You may have an anterior placenta which would affect how early you feel movement, even if this is baby #2. Just be patient and trust that everything is fine. I am sure you'll feel movement before you know it!

    I felt more movement with the first one also.  By 18 weeks my first was moving and shaking all over.  This time around 16 weeks I felt flutters, but only within the past 2 weeks have I felt kicks and still not as often or strong as the first.  I was actually convinced that I was having a boy this time just b/c this baby is so lazy, but just found out today it's another girl....don't worry, your new baby will be on the move soon.

    Thanx ladies. You've helped alot. I think my placenta is in a different position this time. I'll be patient & wait till I get to see LO in a few weeks.
