20 weeks and still nothing...urg

in January 2011 Moms

ok yes this is another post about feeling the baby move...but I haven't and I am bummed a bit and scared a bit :(

I know it could be because I have some extra padding (5'5" and 170lbs) but I have always been told I was sooo (sad in a sassy voice) intune with my body so I really thought I would feel it.

 PLEASE tell me there are others in 20+ weeks that haven't felt movement yet, before I go all crazy prego lady and call the doctor (I have an appointment tomorrow so I suppose I could wait to freak out until then LOL)

    I thought I was feeling him a few weeks back but determined whatever I was feeling was way to low to be the LO, so I'm in your boat I have not been able to determine a movement yet.  I'm padded as well, and my Dr. told me usually with your first pregnancy you don't until 20-22 weeks so I'm waiting patiently daily now. . . good luck!

    Hang in there!  with my first pregnancy I felt NOTHING until 28 weeks.  With this pregnancy I have felt a couple of flutters but nothing substantial or consistent yet.

    My doc said it's normal to not feel movement until 22+ weeks, especially with your first.  Try to relax, and you can always ask your doc about it at your appointment tomorrow.  I almost never feel LO unless I'm laying perfectly still, on my back, doing absolutely nothing.  Or occasionally if I lay on my stomach, LOL.  My next appt is at 22 weeks, so I might ask then if I'm still not feeling much, but since I just saw LO on Monday via u/s, I'm not too worried.

    I am right there with you... I felt something yesterday that I thought maybe, possibly could have been baby and then an hour later I was second guessing it. I have been trying the cold drink and laying down and still nothing... I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks I will start to feel him more strongly. From everything I have heard and read it looks like we're still in the fairly normal range to just start to feel baby moving (18-22 weeks).

    I am in the same situation - which is why I check the heart rate almost every night now Big Smile Whenever I think I do feel something, it goes away so fast and I don't have time to really 'diagnose' it.  Then, I just tell myself that I am making things up - heehee. I don't think that I will really understand what movement and believe it until my DH can feel it too.

    I felt the baby flutter a bit (at least I thought that's what it was) but was never really too sure. I could have sworn I felt something a little stronger about a week or 2 ago, but again nothing clear. However today, at 20 weeks 4 days I definitely felt this little guy while i was sitting at my desk/computer at work. It was so cool.  Maybe your day will be tomorrow!! But if not, you will certainly get reassurance when you see your doctor!

    I'm about the same size as you and have felt movement for the last couple of weeks. But, it's only at certain times of the day, like 30 minutes after I eat breakfast and 30 minutes after dinner. I wouldn't notice it unless I was sitting perfectly still, and would probably mistake it with gas if I was up and moving around.

    I'm sure everything is fine...some people don't feel anything until 22 weeks or so. I would ask the doctor tomorrow if you are really worried though.

    I am only 18 weeks and 3 days and have felt nothing. I had my appt. yestesday and the Dr. said it is very normal to not feel anything until 20-22 weeks with your first. She said its hard with your first because you dont really know what you are supposed to feel.

    I am sure everything is fine and you will feel a lot better tomorrow after talking to your dr!

    I just stared feeling him about 4 days ago.  I was in the same boat as you until then.

    Hang in there! I had only tiny flutters until last week and then I found out I had an anterior placenta, got all bummed, and the next day got thumped big time. Now she's kicking all the time to the point where I and DH can easily feel it with our hand and I can see it through my shirt.

    Those little ones can gain strength fast!

    I only started to feel a little movement late last week.  Nothing consistent yet, but I've felt one or two big kicks.  I was on the fluffy side to begin with and I also have anterior placenta.
