22 weeks No Kicks

2013Mrsgaines · October 2015

Hey everyone! I'm a little worried that I haven't felt any kicks yet. Is it still too early? Should I be worried?

You should be feeling some pretty regular kicks. I would ask your OB where your placenta is located. If it's across your belly, that could be why you haven't felt movement. I would call your doc if you're concerned.

It's not abnormal to not feel kicks with an anterior placenta at 22w.

I'm nearly 25 weeks and have to be sitting/laying down to feel for them and this is baby #3.

Not necessarily true. There are a lot of things that make feel kicks vary from person to person.

Kick counts start at 28 weeks.

I do agree that if you're worried call your doctor they could have you come in to just do a standard check since no movement can cause you anxiety.

I'm 25 weeks with anterior placenta. I just started feeling my kicks at the end of my 23 weeks. If your anything like me though (a big worrier) I would talk to your docter so you feel better!

If you're worried, call your dr. However, placenta placement has a lot to do with it. With my first I felt her move a lot early on but this time my placenta is in the front so I only felt tiny movements that could have been mistaken for gas until about a week ago. I'm almost 25 weeks

I'm 25 weeks and didn't start feeling kicks until almost 2 weeks ago. Even now, I only really feel him when I'm laying down or sitting for long periods of time. Just had an appointment this AM and everything's progressing normally!

I'm 22 weeks and 3 days now and haven't felt any. I was told that I have an anterior placenta and I'm plus size which they say can make it take longer to feel. I'd ask your dr, but try not to worry too much.

I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow and STM. I started feeling at 17 weeks, when I'd lay on my stomach and I have an anterior placenta. Most of the time I only feel it at the bottom or sides. It's seems to be different for everyone, even those who have an anterior placenta. My doctor has been asking if I've felt movement since my 18 week appointment. This is my experience though. Definitely call, to at least feel better :-)!

I'll be 25 weeks this week & have an anterior placenta as well. I started feeling little flutters that have gradually increased since week 17. I still only feel movement & little bumps here & there when i'm laying down or sitting. Hubby felt her for the first time at 23 weeks ☺️

Don't worry too much, your LO's kicks or punches are probably not quite strong enough to feel them at all times. I started feeling flutters at 18 weeks and honestly didn't notice them consistently until 23 weeks. It really was not until 23 weeks for me that I could really tell that it was her moving around in there.

Don't worry about it to much I'm 24&5 days and really just started to feel my little girl! I also have an interior placenta if you don't feel anything by 30 weeks that's when I'd start to worry but your doctor would be able to tell you more! But our little babies are also sleeping 12-14 hours a day now so they are probably Rolling around when we are asleep !! ☺️

I didnt feel my little man til almost 19 weeks. I have an anterior placenta. But i was laying in bed focusing on it and it was really tiny barely noticeable. I think i just wasnt paying attention to him as much as i thought. And being a ftm too i didnt know what itd feel like. Try drinking more water and maybe a little juice to wake the lo up or some ice water.

and try not to worry and just relax. I just started feeling him through the day at 23 weeks. Im 23 weeks and 5 days now. I poke at my lil man and he starts to move

plus if you are alittle bit bigger you might feel them later. If you look it up its more common to feel them move around 22weeks then 16 lik they claim.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experience with me! I started to feel him tapping around in there earlier this week. It's not really consistent just yet but it put my mind at ease. Thanks again!
