  I first felt at around 19 weeks. I had asked my OB when to expect or worry before and she said it's not uncommon not to feel anything until 24 weeks! If you're panicking you could get a Doppler for at home use.

  I don't think I felt flutters with my first until around 19/20 weeks. Felt them alit sooner this time around, probably 17 weeks.
  
  I wouldn't worry. I was told to lay still on your bed and you might feel something.

  FTM's typically don't feel movement until a little later. With my first I was probably around 25-26 weeks, but the placenta was in the front and acting like a cushion. I would not worry at all if I was not feeling movement at 17 weeks. It will happen soon enough.

  I'm a STM at 20 weeks and although I've felt flutters nothing major. I know it's hard not to compair yourself to others (because I've done it to when I hear STMs that have felt full kicks at this pointt) but we're all different. You'll feel him or her soon enough.

  Thank you all! I'm not too worried because I just had an appointment last week and I know everything is fine I'm just being impatient! Lol thank you all for the feedback hoping to feel my little one soon! [-O<

  18 weeks and haven't felt a damn thing. My doc said not to worry until after 22 weeks.

  I'm 18 weeks and nothing but my placenta is in the front blocking like another poster said. Everyone keeps telling me in a few weeks I'm going to learn to be careful what I wish for but I'm just so excited to feel something.

  FTM and I NEVER felt flutters or fish swimming or popping. Totally skipped all of that. I felt a little twitch around 16 weeks and then nothing after. I too was feeling sad and was wondering why I wasn't feeling anything when most of the ladies on here were. But even my doctor told me at that time I may not feel the baby until after 23 weeks. Then at 19 weeks I felt the baby actually move in me! Now at 20 weeks 5 days I now feel it almost daily. All will be fine mama 

  Always hold on to hope ❤

  Thanks ladies. I'm just going to continue patiently waiting. Will you absolutely 100% know when it happens? I'm afraid I'll feel it but then brush it off because I won't be sure if it's the baby or not.

  I'm 21 weeks and have just started feeling him. I have an anterior (in the front) placenta like another poster so that made it tough to feel anything. I started feeling twitches around 19 weeks but wrote it off as growth spasms, gas etc. it wasn't until an ultrasound when I saw him kick and felt it that I realized what I had been feeling was actually the baby.

  I am 21weeks and just now feeling her a lot. I felt sensations here in there from about 18'weeks but now I know it's her. Her daddy even felt her last night. I'll be 22 weeks Saturday.
