I didn't feel my baby until 22 weeks. It just takes longer for some people

It depends on a lot of factors.
Is this your first baby?
What position your placenta is in. If it is anterior you won't feel your baby until much later than other mums.
Whether or not you are overweight. Larger mums feel baby later than smaller mums.

You could always try drinking some ice cold orange juice and laying on your left side for a little while. I first felt my baby at 16w and I was laying in bed on my back, completely still.
It will happen soon. Don't worry too much

You dont really have much choice but to wait. He will let u feel him when hes ready. Its nothing to worry about you should feel him within the next few weeks.
