should i be worried..

ok..
so i am 19weeks tomorrow and i havent really felt the baby move.. I was at the doctor on the 28th and they did an ultra sound and the baby was moving i could see it. the heart beat was good at 156 and the doctor said everything was measuring ok.
im sort of a heavy person.. im wondering if that is why i cant feel it yet.. what do you all think. is it reason for concern? when do i start getting worried? I dont have my next ultra sound till december the 1st. that is for check of the organs and sex. the hospital i go to is backed up and that was the earliest that they had. i will then be 23 weeks. uhh im starting to get nervous. i asked my doctor and he said any day now.. so i dont know i just want your oppion
please all respond..

I'm 19 weeks pregnant too.  and I felt flutters before and.I thought I felt a kick but it's been a few days but the midwife told me you usually Starr to feel more around 20 to 22 weeks and then you can't get them to stop moving lol. I'm not going to stress so you shouldn't either!  :)

Hi. I'm 19 weeks pregnant with twins & I haven't felt much either. I think I'm feeling flutters, but it's hard to know for sure as a first-time mommy-to-be ;) Another friend online who is pregnant with twins told me she felt them really move around 21 weeks, so that's definitely something to look forward to :) I agree that if you saw them moving on u/s, they're doing well. I know that makes me feel better :) Best wishes!!!

dont think u should get worried just yet especially if this is your first child it mite take a longer time for u to start feeling the movement. its actually differet for women to feel it move at diffrent times just relax and sure u start feeling it soon. BTW its a very wondeful feeling. you wont need any one tell u when u get the first poke.

I'm 19 weeks and I just recently (as in this past weekend) started to recognize the baby moves. Before I thought they were gastric moves or gas, but now I"m 100% sure! I even feel the little thud in the palm of my hand.
Might be because you have a little extra fat in your belly. If you saw the baby move its fine!

I just reached the 20 week mark and have only felt movements a couple of times, its not consistent, I don't feel it everyday.  I wouldn't worry, everyone is different. Hope you start feeling those little kicks soon :)

Is this your first baby? Everybody is different. If you are overweight you tend to feel things later on. Maybe if you cant feel anything by your ultrasound (cos u will be 23 weeks) then ask the doctor. Most people I know hadnt felt movement at 19 weeks.Its really hard to know what your feeling for too. So dont stress :]

If you saw the baby move in the ultrasound then you dont need to worry at all.. I didnt feel much at 19 weeks, only few flutters sometimes. Later around 21 weeks it grew stronger and i can feel something now. So relax you will be fine.
