First time moms and moms with an anterior placenta takes a while to feel movements. If your up and about alot you may just not have noticed the movements. But id still suggest you call and ask as theyll be the best person to advice you.

I would call and ask the dr. I'm 23 weeks and feel regular movement at about the same times every day. Everyone is different so I would call if you are concerned.

Some people don't feel their baby move at 23. It could be where your placenta is placed as well. U will be fine :) sometimes being real still u can fell a flutter here or there but u may mistake it for gas.

Is this normal to never feel your baby move at. 23 weeks?

If you've never felt baby move it could be a variety of reasons.. I was told I had strong stomach muscles and that's why it took a little longer for me to feel her... If you're worried ring for an earlier appointment... They say you only get movement at about the weeks anyway so it's not that much of a difference to what you are now.. It could happen any day

Your baby movements don't become regular until 28 weeks, but u can try a few things. Drink something cold. Orange juice usually gets them moving. U can do like I did and put music to your belly via headphones and try laying real still. Your baby still small and may be doing a whole bunch of movement u just won't feel it all yet. Plus baby is growing and resting

If you've been getting regular movements every day then I'd consider calling a midwife... have a fizzy drink and you could try a bath to encourage baby to move... I'm sure all will be okay though! Baby's probably just having a lazy day
