I didn't feel movement with my first until 19 weeks. Have you had an ultrasound? If you have an anterior placenta it muffles the movement so that it takes even longer than 20 weeks to feel the baby.

I felt the first flutters at maybe 11 or 12 weeks but it was like once or twice. Now I'm 17 weeks and I feel little kicks everyday. Especially when I'm laying on my back. Or when I'm playing music.

I'm 16 weeks with baby number 3, I feel light moving but what I feel and see is when I lay flat on my back I see the baby on the right side of my belly button and then I feel moving but no kicks yet. But like I said it's my 3rd and I'm pretty small and my skin is thin

With my first I didn't feel her until 17 weeks. With this one I felt it at 11 almost 12.

I'm 15 weeks 2 days and don't feel movement either, my doctor said for your first pregnancy you can expect to feel movement anywhere from 16-22 weeks, so I wouldn't worry.

With your first you usually don't start to feel the baby move until 20 weeks. The more kids you have the sooner you feel them move. I'm 16 weeks and feel mine move but this is my 4th pregnacy

I'm only 13 weeks myself, but a lot of women I know have said that they didn't really feel anything until 18-20weeks. Don't worry, everyone is different. :)
