movements

Hey ladies

Okay si i need some re-assurance, I think i feel this baby but only so lightly at the moment. 17 weeks 4 days and so many of you have felt them early I'm worried. no anterior palcenta, and this is the secound pregnancy.

Anyone felt baby later than this please let me knwo when you felt your LO?

I'm 18 weeks 4 days and I definatly felt her a few days ago. I think the first time was at 17 weeks but I wasn't sure. Now i'm sure of it, I can tell when im gassy and this is different.
I'm glad you can feel it now. Pretty awsome isn't it?

I'm 19 weeks and am not sure if I've felt anything either. Sometimes I feel something that feels like he/she is stretching, but I can't be surre if its the baby or just my ligaments.

I'm not terribly overweight, but the extra weight I do carry has always been in my stomach, so I think the extra "padding" makes it tougher to feel things.  Then again, my super skinny friend didn't feel her first moving till 22 weeks, so maybe that theory is garbage too!

I wouldn't worry though - pretty soon you'll be getting kicked in the ribs!

I felt mine quite a lot by then but I'm pretty thin and started feeling him at 14 weeks.  Now I'm 20 weeks and his 'donkey kicks' are enough to make my whole belly jump.

Our surrogate is 18 weeks with twins and she has not felt anything yet either....I keep reading that folks are feeling their little ones and it makes me want her to feel them too...but it sounds like it is perfectly normal that they aren't kicking just yet!  I even told our surrogate one day...no offense, but I would really love it if they kicked you in the ribs!!!!  :)

You're too early to be feeling baby move a lot. I'm 20 weeks and feel her moving once in a while, but only when I'm really paying attention. If I'm busy doing something during the day I don't feel her or she's not moving. Don't worry, you'll be feeling it soon enough. I'm on baby number two as well and started feeling a little around 14-15 weeks, same as with my first. I'm a stay at home mom, and being two DS entertains himself most of the day while I try to stay off my feet some because I've already been having BH contractions, so I have time to sit and just pay attention to see if I feel her.
