My doc told me I probably wouldn't feel anything until 20 weeks. Both my mom & MIL also said they didn't feel their babies until around 20 weeks. So try not to worry!

me neither....at least i don't think i did....you might have felt something that was baby but didn't realize it...i thought i felt something last night, but wasn't sure since i'm not exactly sure what i'm "looking" for
don't worry...i was told probably closer to 20 weeks too....
I'm kind of a worry wart anyway every time I think I feel something I second guess myself and I'm hoping I feel something soon. I just always think the worst...it's so scary not knowing ugh hurry up and get here already
A lot of women don't feel their LO until after 20 weeks. I felt flutters a little over a week ago but haven't felt any movement in 4 or 5 days. Our LOs are still pretty tiny so it's not all too surprising that we can't feel them much or all the time.
Thanks so much y'all totally made me feel better...I go to the doc on the 10th to find out the gender although I won't be finding out until the reveal party..but we will get our u/s pics. So that will be a great relief to see our little baby...but I'm kinda nervous
I'm with you! It stinks because all the apps and the books start talking about feeling movement by now, but I've had friends who didn't feel movement until 20-22 weeks. We had our A/S yesterday, so that was at least reassuring, and so cute to see baby cuddled up in the corner with his hands over his face.
This is my second and I still really haven't felt him move- my first I felt around 18 weeks but i think this baby is way more chill than my first. I'm thinking 20 weeks is when he really is gonna start kicking. Hang in there- you will feel it soon
I didn't feel DS until 23 weeks and I haven't felt this baby yet. I had an anterior placenta both times which can delay when you feel movement. Later than 18 weeks still isn't outside of the ordinary even if you don't have AP. Nothing to worry about, it'll happen soon!
Thanks so much for posting this question. I too am 18 weeks and have still not felt anything. I was starting to worry myself, but reading through this made me feel better.

Dear Baby Pacheco...

I'm a STM and still have not felt anything.
I felt DD at 16 weeks last time, so I guess every pregnancy/every baby really is different.
