Not a question just telling someone that can understand. Due April 14 and am currently 17 weeks and 2 days. I haven't felt the baby move yet and get so nervous about everything.  I have an appointment Friday but I get more antsy the closer it gets. It's feels like forever between each appointment since it's a month between each one. I've only had one ultrasound done at 8 weeks and won't get my next one until they do the second trimester scan in December.  :( So nervous that they will say something bad.

I'm a FTM too and also 17 weeks. I think I've felt him move but I'm not really sure. I bought a Doppler to use in between appointments so I could hear his heart beat. Its helped so much to relax me.

The waiting is the hardest part :( but I think once I'm able to feel the baby moving 100% I won't be as antsy between the appointments :) Good luck to all you mommies :) and I can't wait to be able to feel the little flutters and kicks :)

Im due April 17th, This is my 3rd and last child. I started feeling movement at 14 1\2 weeks each week its a bit stronger. With my first i felt nothing until about 21 weeks and the first kick was a BIG one. My second i felt around 15/16 weeks flutters and an odd slidingfeeling.

Me too! I'm antsy as well. Had my 1st scan on my 8weeks and my next scan in Dec as well. It's my 2nd pregnancy BTW and I'm loving the flutters in my tummy. Good luck to us!

I worry a lot too, i think it's normal for first time moms. There's 5 weeks between my last & next Dr appt and the wait is making me crazy. I'm 19 weeks and haven't felt movement that I'm sure was the baby. I've been very gassy my whole pregnancy and everything just feels like gas bubbles.

I wouldnt worry so much it's really common to not have any movement at all until 20 weeks with my first two I didn't feel anything until at least 19 weeks so don't worry Ur self to much it could put unnecessary stress on u and the baby

Is it your first baby? It's possible you have felt it move and not known if it is.
