When did you start to feel movement?

| 20 weeks here with my first pregnancy (this far along) and haven't felt any movement yet. Saw the baby moving a couple of weeks ago via ultrasound, but when should I become concerned about not feeling anything? When did you first feel movement? |

| Around that time. It was faint at first but then got stronger and more noticeable. If you have anterior placenta placement I know it can take longer (I did not). |

| 18-19 weeks (with my first continuing pregnancy) I thought I felt movement. I was right! |

Baby #1--not until past the 20 week mark, maybe 22-24 weeks?
Baby #2--before 20 weeks, but baby #2 was huge and healthy despite being born 2+ weeks early so he may have had the wrong due date. Also, he's still huge (his height is well off the charts) |

17-22 weeks. I often could only feel it if I was laying down.
You feel it more with subsequent pregnancies because your body is more attuned to listening. My doctor said something like how people who have had heart surgery can feel their heart beating. |

22 weeks with my first (anterior placenta) and it was very fleeting. Didn't feel consistent movement until 24 weeks.
16 weeks with my second (again anterior placenta) and again fleeting until about 18/19 weeks. Now at 24 weeks I can feel and see movement from outside my belly. I'd forgotten how wild that was. |

| If your 20 weeks scan was good, it will probably be soon. Try not to worry about it. If you can’t stop fixating on it, call the OB to ask. |

If you see the baby moving on ultrasound but just dont feel it, that's nothing to worry about. THe only worry is if the baby has actually stopped moving, but in your case, that's not it. |

| Another for 22 weeks. It was so slight at first, like an eyelash fluttering. I had to really stop and pay attention. Enjoy, OP! It's such a magical time. |
