My baby was moveing but not really super active till 20 weeks.. sence then she has been moveing alot more and yesterday her daddy felt her movein up a storm in my belly at 23 weeks. He looked like he was gunna cry he was so happy. Your baby is moving plenty its just hard to feel at first and hard to tell what is movement or digestion till they really start kicking

Not exterior but posterior... lol. If your placenta is on the outside you got problems.

Have you got an exterior placenta?

You're still early and baby is tiny. Plus, the placement of your placenta may be preventing you from feeling baby. Of you have an anterior placenta (in the front), you don't feel movements as much early on.

I'm 18 wks 2 days and I'm yet to feel a lot of movement but if I get little movement it is down in the  pelvic area under my flabby bit as I call it.And this is baby#9.So hopefully come 19 -20 wk I should get more movement.

I think u are ok, but talk to ur doctor. I didn't feel consistent movement on all three of my children till about 28 weeks. I didn't feel any kicks Till about 20. Rest easy, once they don't rest u won't either!! :-)
