Not kicking yet :/

I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby and I am a little worried that loads of my friends who are or who have been pregnant were feeling their babies kick at like 16-18 weeks. I'm slightly worried that baby hasn't even started that fluttering. Is this normal and am I just over reacting?

It's different for everyone some women don't feel it as soon as others or even at all. As long as your check ups are good and the Dr says you have a healthy baby growing you shouldn't be worried

I just was freaking out about this too. I am in my 19th week as well. I went and had my ultrasound and my baby girl, just found out, was super active I just can't feel her yet because she isn't hitting the placenta so I can treeless her move. It's like your baby is in a pool they move around but if they don't hit the sides of the pool you won't feel the movement, don't worry we will feel our babies soon enough. Try not to worry.

I'm just really scared all the time because this hasn't been an easy pregnancy and I'm also classed as a high risk pregnancy as I'm epileptic. I just want to feel some form of movement.
