Fetal movement

Brieb33 · April 2018

Hey ladies, I know I’m not an “active member” - personally i hate this app and find it hard to keep up with, it’s so slow and not user friendly. But anyway, that’s my excuse. Oh and my 4, 2 and 1 year old boys. I was curious when and if everyone is feeling baby move? I’m 17 weeks today and I want to feel her move!!!! I think it was between 17-19 weeks i felt the other children move.

Hi! I think this gets mentioned in the symptoms thread every now and then, but the answers would be hard to find.

A lot of people are starting to feel movement, but if you have an anterior placenta that might delay feeling anything. With my first pregnancy I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel any for sure movements until almost 20 weeks.

This time I started feeling movement more consistently just before 18 weeks, though if I'm busy or distracted I definitely miss it.

Try to be patient. We cannot do anything to help you feel movement sooner or navigate the app/site. Lots of things factor into when quickening is felt such as placental placement, as pp mentioned. We can’t change that. I haven’t felt anything other than gas myself.

I'm feeling baby, but the tech also told me at the NT scan that my placenta was posterior. It's still pretty early!

I started feeling baby at week 14. Started with flutters and lately I even felt them hiccup. After I come home from work, I usually have a fruit snack or juice and lay down. Our house is pretty quiet (FTM, don't watch TV) so I spend this time waiting for baby to wiggle.

This app is not the most user-friendly and I am a millenial lol. The reply box is dumb and once you open a thread and you hit the back button, it sends you to the top of the page............ those are the things I would change.

I am 19&4 with a healthy baby (kicking and jabbing on U/S yesterday) but haven’t felt anything. My OB told me it can still be 2-4 weeks with an anterior placenta

Nothing lately (17 wk+), but I did feel flutters that did not feel like gas around 13-14 wks. It will happen!

20.5 weeks with an anterior placenta, STM and I’ve felt nothing. Baby is fine in there, and when he’s kicking my rib cage I’ll lovingly think back on these days when he wasn’t doing that.

When I went for my anatomy scan last week (19 wks) I told my dr I was concerned bc I didn’t feel anything yet. She said she wouldn’t even expect it until 20 weeks, and even then it could be many more! Every body is different. I’m 20 weeks now and just starting to feel very subtly movement. When I saw him on the US he wouldn’t sit still!! We couldn’t even get a picture of his face bc he moved around so much. Now that I’ve seen it I feel it - so it might even be in my imagination! Be patient and don’t worry

Thanks everyone! This is my fourth and I felt all babies move by this point so it has me a little nervous, but I really appreciate all the feedback. I over analyze and freak out about everything even though everything has been fine. Thanks ladies! Still have two more weeks til my next appt.

Pro-tip-the app does totally suck. I use my phone browser (in my case Chrome, but could be safari for others) and log into the actual website from there, and then bookmarked the main Sept board page-works about 100 times better than the app for me.

This is my third and I have an anterior placenta. I can feel movement, but it’s pretty light. It’s similar to how I felt my first, who also had an anterior placenta.
