Baby movement almost 18 weeks

&georgopoulos · February 2015

ladies! I'm getting nervous! I'm almost 18 weeks and still can only feel my little nugget move once in a while! I'm very slender and in shape! Anyone else just not feel it yet?

I'm a fat ass and I can feel mine all the time weight is not an indicator of how you will feel your baby from the inside only affects how others will feel it on the outside and everyones different as far as when you will feel it if you have an anterior placenta you may not feel it until 20 something weeks

&georgopoulos I'm feeling the same way. My build is a little larger than yours (judging by your picture) but I'm athletic and not showing at all (18 weeks). I know my placenta is anterior so I may not feel the baby move anytime soon but I've been feeling what could be kicks...or gas. I'm not 100% sure either way but I can't wait to feel the movement for sure! =D

I'm 17weeks 1 day and I haven't felt movement at all(or at least not anything definite) I have an anterior placenta though. I don't think you have anything to worry about. When you are consistently feeling the baby all the time and then you don't, that's when you worry.

I didn't feel oven with my 1st until after 20 weeks. I wouldn't be concerned if I were you. Pretty normal stuff.

I'm 18w5d with my 2nd and I haven't felt it move at all, starting to get discouraged. Decided to move my appointment up from next week to this week just to ease my mind.

I'm 18w3d and feel mine but remember everyone is different. Is this your first? Some FTM don't feel until a little later. A lot of things factor into feeling movement.. I wouldn't worry. It will happen, most likely when you aren't expecting it.

&georgopoulos · February 2015

Yes I am a FTM, I just don't put that in my posts because I have come across a few snide women but thanks for the reassurance!

I'm almost 17 weeks and this is my 2nd, but I'm still feeling only the smallest movements irregularly. And I'm not always sure if it's baby or gas. Part of me wants to worry but at the same time I know it can still be kind of early for feeling regular movement.

Hang in there and I hope you get to start feeling lots of kicks soon. I know I'm super impatient for it

I feel mine maybe 3 to 4 times a day at the most I'm 17 weeks and 3 days. But I'm sure maybe in 3 more weeks you feel stronger movements!

juliekay25 · February 2015

I'm just about 19 weeks and haven't felt anything yet. Kinda discouraging since I read others posts about it all the time. My appt is in two weeks and I finally get to see it again and find out what it is. I know its moving I saw it moving at week 10 and last time they used the Doppler they said they could tell it was moving like crazy I just can't feel a thing.

I feel the same way im a ftm and I cant feel a thing. I have my baby bump im 17 weeks and so far in every visit my baby has been moving guess I just need to wait alittle more to feel my little girl in there.

I'm 18 weeks today and been feeling the whole popcorn/gas feeling the last 2 weeks. Today I was driving home from work and fully felt kicking, 5 in a row! Omg I was so thrilled even though I was like ummmmm what is that?! Then I showered and felt little jabs. But nothing since. I'm not going to expect too much though as it's still early. Some of my friends didn't feel anything until 20+ weeks.

Allisekaylin · February 2015

I'm 18 weeks 4 days FTM and haven't felt anything yet.

futurefreeland · February 2015

I'm 18 weeks and a 2nd time mom. I haven't felt anything either. It is hard not to worry.

MommyTangerine · February 2015

FTM here as well. 18 weeks today and I have had the little gassy feeling a couple of times the last week but I am not sure if it was just gas or not. Either way, it isn't happening much at all and it does get me a little worried sometimes! I can't wait to really feel it! Until then I will just put my trust in the Lord and just wait

STM and although I'm not quite as far along as you (16 weeks 4 days) I still haven't felt anything. At my last appointment I was told I have an anterior placenta, so I know I won't feel anything for a few more weeks.

With my first I didn't feel my first kick until 18 weeks, and then nothing again until 19.5 weeks. It'll happen soon, but I understand worrying. I do all the time

ccarrozza1 · February 2015

I would not worry about it at all. Some people don't feel anything till 20-22 weeks. Some days I don't feel much and other days I get kicked ans jabbed like crazy. It also depends where your placenta is located. We are coming up soon on our 20 week apt when they do the big ultrasound scan so I think we are all a little nervous!

This is my second pregnancy with twins and I still can't feel anything at 17 and 4, even though my stomach is huge already! However I have a Doppler at home I can use every once in a while. They are in there doing back flips! Just can't feel it....

fouzi · February 2015

I am very petite and I am 18 weeks, still can't feel any movement. I asked my doctor and she said its normal not to feel them till 21 weeks
