Baby Movement?

I’m a first time mom after four losses and have felt small movements the past few weeks but VERY infrequently. Flutters around 16 weeks then really nothing. At 17 weeks a stronger sensation of movement and then again, nothing. I’m at 18,3 and am not sure if that’s normal or I should be concerned. The longer it goes without feeling anything the more worried I get.

This is my first pregnancy. I’m at 18 weeks today and haven’t felt any movement yet. Nothing at all. I was told that it might not start until closer to 20-22 weeks. I’m not really sure though.

It’s early still for consistent movements. And some babies just move less. I wouldn’t be worried at this point. I’m not feeling much of anything but when I went to my last appointment baby was moving so much so that just means I’m just not feeling it yet. Talk to your provider and hopefully they can reassure you.

Okay, thank you! That’s another weird thing at every appointment they say they’re moving a ton- but you know the appointments are only once a month. I just wasn’t sure since I felt it and now haven’t vs not feeling it yet at all.

I’ve felt a few flutters here and there. But I think I feel them a bit sooner because this is my 4th pregnancy.
With my first pregnancy, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. But I felt movements closer to 20 weeks then. Just take it easy, everyone is different. Congratulations ❤️

knottie2f93448b4aec7eaa I had these exact same questions/insecurities as a FTM. Flutters until 24/25 weeks, then the baby kicks started. It's been gangbusters in there ever since. Good luck!
