I'm also 22 weeks. I really haven't felt movement either until yesterday, I felt two pokes. Don't worry, soon it will seem they never stop squirming around in there.

Do you have an anterior placenta? My SIL didn't feel her LO until 24-25 weeks because of that.

Try lurking some, this has been discussed multiple times. The search button can also help with finding those posts.

If you haven't felt movement yet, you probably will very soon.

Did you have an A/S recently? If you did and saw baby, then I would think that you have nothing to worry about and just need to be patient for a little bit longer. If you haven't felt him/her by your next appointment, then you should bring it up to your doctor. Try not to worry too much.

OP - I'm in the same boat. Almost at 23 weeks and have officially felt a few pokes, but only a few and hard to know if their pokes or just indigestion :-?

I was told at my A/S I have an anterior facing placenta, but should start feeling movement around now - I'm trying not to be worried and will do as vrj0522 says above, talk to my doctor at my 24 week appt. if movement is still minimal. I'll also get another look at Lo that week as their doing a rescan due to slightly large kidneys on the first one (hoping they are normal on this 2nd one).

I'd say from the other posts on this topic that I've read, while it's not the most common, there are a lot of us who have had less movement at this point and it is fairly normal, depending on baby, placement of placenta, etc... If you are concerned talk to your doctor and you can always go in for a doppler if you're really concerned. Good luck!

It's totally normal, especially for FTMs and moms with anterior placentas, not to feel movement yet.

If you're concerned, ask your OB/midwife. I'm sure he/she can give you an average time that most moms begin feeling movement. If I remember correctly, it's somewhere between 19 and 25 weeks, with regular movement beginning around 25.

I found out at our U/S this week that I have an anterior placenta, which ends up being a kind of cushion between the baby and your belly. The doc said I probably wouldn't feel any movement until 21/22 weeks, and possibly not consistently until 26-ish.

I've been lucky to feel a few distinct kicks, one time at 17 and twice around 18 weeks, but they've been few and far between, and I haven't felt any definite ones in at least a week. From everything I've heard, that's normal given my placenta placement.

As others mentioned, they should tell you at your U/S if you have an anterior placenta. You could also always get a doppler so you can spy on the baby's heartbeat a little until you start feeling regular movement.
