17w1d STM I can count on one hand the number of times I THINK I have felt baby. It's almost depressing as it causes me anxiety baby hiccups on the inside are the cutest! I am READY for movement!!!
@dragonfly87-2 Same here! I was feeling the same thing earlier but then nothing. I went for an ultrasound and the baby was flipped in towards my insides, so it's harder to feel little movements. I think I am feeling little things now but maybe not, it's hard to tell.
I can finally post here! 17w3d and feeling sporadic movements, definitely baby and not gas! Tonight I was sitting watching tv and felt a very pronounced little flip! So exciting to start feeling LO.
Last night I could feel far distant odd flutters or little wave rolls like when you go over the lump on a rollacoster . Or the thumping in your diaphragm for those who ever get anxiety only it was tiny and really low in my abdomen Hubby was holding my belly ( he often does when we cuddle even before ) I think I've had these little bubble feelings before but kind of gone before you notice and then don't know if it was baby or something else or imagination Then out of nowhere there was this distinct pop or prod from within. And hubby felt it too since his hand was right on the spot. which was nuts and nice . Nothing since but maybe ill start to feel them more in the next few weeks and this pregnancy will see real 19w+4 I was starting to think it would be ages still with an anterior placenta and FTM and strong abs But then It was confirmed the placenta is in the upper anterior quadrant at our anatomy scan so maybe I'll just feel everything super low down
I'm 17w 2d and have felt movement very inconsistently since about 14 or 15 weeks. Some days I feel baby often and some days I feel nothing at all. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't driving me just a little bit crazy lol.
I was feeling her pretty constant for a couple of days last week. She was high, like around my belly button but then suddenly one day, nothing. I knew it was normal this early on pregnancy but couldn't help but to be a little worried. The dr found her hb super low and deep (as in he had to push on my stomach pretty hard) so she must have just moved down. I think I may have an anterior placenta near the bottom which is why I can't feel her when she is low. I guess we'll find out about the anterior thing at my anatomy scan in a couple of weeks!
@tashandma The report from our second scan (morphology) at 12w+2d revealed an anterior placenta placement First midwife appointment we discussed what it ment or could mean . And this last scan (anatomy scan) at 18w+6 she confirmed it was also high which was a relief as I had to empty my bladder at the scan because it was obstructing and distorting the uterus and at first it looked low and I think the OB was worried it was too close to the cervix
So I would think the placement would be in the report from your earlier scan (im assuming everyone due November are between like 20/21 weeks and 16w and already had their NT scan I could be wrong , I also live in a different country to most of you)
@foxairt I'm so glad yours isn't low!! And that you felt baby even with it anterior! i have only had my dating scan by my doctor, my anatomy scan will be in a couple of weeks. I'm really not worried about it at this point, it was just such a huge difference in feeling her move so much to nothing. I did have an elective ultrasound to determine gender a couple of weeks ago but the tech didn't mention the placenta. I doubt she would though since she isn't a doctor or anything!
I am 19 weeks today and I am pretty sure I have felt the little guy bounce around the last day or so. Although the movements aren't as distinct as I would like, it feels like him moving around! I am just ready to feel those kicks! With our daughter, I felt her early around 16 weeks!
DH is dying to feel baby and I feel so bad for him. Every time I feel baby moving I try to feel it from the outside and nothing. It's like a switch. You put your hand on the belly and baby freezes like playing red light, green light... Hopefully soon. AS tomorrow and I'm wondering about the placenta location.

@zigzag8412 My baby is the same way! As soon as I put my hand on my belly after feeling flutters, she settles right down and I don't feel anything! Good luck with your AS tomorrow.
this thread is comforting me! i am almost 17 weeks and haven't felt movement which has been freaking me out. i have a posterior placenta and every once in a while i think i feel something but i'm pretty convinced it is just gas or digestion!
Ok this is weird, but I think I've noticed a pattern. It seems like when I'm a little, achem, backed up, I don't feel as much movement. Then after I finally go to the bathroom in a meaningful way, they get super active.
Anyone else noticed this? I joke that they like when I poop because they gain real estate.
@bklynchica when I first felt movement it was after a really bad stomach day. I was totally empty and felt him kicking away. Definitely feel him more often now when I'm on the empty side.
Finally felt baby from the outside last night! I guess when I'm sitting up all day at work, I can feel squish cause I'm squishing him/her but all my extra fluff cushions feeling baby from the outside. When I laid down last night (on my back surfing fb) I rested my hand on my belly and felt a bump! I gasped and told DH who was all excited and immediately removed one hand from his game controller and placed it on my stomach. Sadly baby had settled down and DH got eaten by zombies... or his first person shooter guy did anyway... About 10 minutes later I felt another one and immediately grabbed his hand an placed it in the right spot. We both waited with bated breath and about 30 seconds later DH gasped at a kick in such a funny way I started laughing really hard and he fussed at me to hold still so he could feel it again. No more kicks last night but it was super fun and super special.

I've been feeling the baby for a couple weeks now. Very light, but consistent enough that I know for sure that's what I'm feeling. It's definitely different than with my daughter because she had an anterior placenta and even up until she was delivered I had to lay really still and focus in order to feel her.

I can finally post here! I'm 19+4 and have felt very slight flutters over the past few weeks, but extremely inconsistent (some days nothing). Something changed today because I can feel her moving around like crazy! Very much changed overnight. Last Friday my nurse asked if I could feel anything and I said "not really" and she said that was not unusual because the baby is still so tiny. They didn't mention whether I have an anterior placenta but now I'm wondering if I do - the baby is facing into my (our?) placenta in my U/S pics but I'm unsure of the angle it was taken.
I thought I was seeing the baby move but it's actually just my own heartbeat I'm seeing in my stupid anterior placenta. I mean, I appreciate my placenta and everything it's doing for this baby and for me, just wish it wasn't on the outside!
I was getting ready to leave work today and I put my hand on my stomach and must have startled the baby because he jumped which made me jump. It was super exciting because I feel him occasionally but this was the most pronounced so far.
I can feel baby move from the outside. DH cannot but he doesn't even try that hard. My BFF is coming over tonight and I want her to feel my baby.... any tips?
Fireworks made baby go nuts last night! Speaking of that, I ordered this for $5 from Motherhood Maternity.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
I think I finally felt baby last night! around 3:30 am I had what felt like a bizarre muscle twitch in my pelvic area, right above my crotch. I put my hand there and got two more sharp jabs! If it hadn't been dark I think I could have seen it!
@tashandma I wasn't sure if it was too low to be baby because i felt it around where my underwear is but I figured it must be because babies move around a ton and also my muscles don't spaz like that haha. Omg yay!!!!
@MississippiCatfish It's on sale and the price shows in your bag / cart. I also got the navy star shorts for $10.

Still waiting here at 17+6 with my anterior placenta. Pretty much 100% sure what I felt before wasn't baby now. OB said probably 3 more weeks. I'm waiting impatiently! But I can tell she's sitting on by bladder today because I can't stop peeing!
@irishfrisky there's hope! I have an anterior placenta too and felt it early this morning at 18+6. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer! I want to feel him again!
@irishfrisky I feel your pain! I felt her move around quite a bit and then all of a sudden she must have moved low because I haven't felt anything for over a week! I've heard her hb at my dr appt and she was in deed low and deep but it still sucks! please move back up, baby!!
eta- I actually came to this thread to see if anyone else was experiencing this because I started to panic a little! So thanks for sharing your situation!!!
