When should I feel him?

Question

I am 17 weeks 2 days, first pregnancy. Have no idea what to look for or when. I start to get scared since I haven't felt the baby yet. 
Any insight is helpful! ❤️

Answer

Depends where your placenta is also.  If it's in the front you will most likely not feel anything until after 20 weeks, it's almost like the baby is kicking a pillow and it's absorbing most of it.  If your placenta is in the back you may start to feel movement around 18-20 weeks. Everyone is different. This is my 5th pregnancy (4th baby) I am 16 weeks and have felt the slightest random movements. My placenta is in the back I thought for sure I would feel him by now since it's my 5th time....but nope nothing constant.  Hang in there it's coming 😊

Answer

I was 19 weeks with my first. But it's normal not to feel it for longer than that! Don't be worried :)

Answer

So many woman say they don't feel movement until 20-25 weeks with first pregnancies. I felt mine at 18 weeks but it's so little you can easily miss it!
