No movement, should I be worried?

Question

I'm 18 weeks 1 day and I haven't been feeling any movement.  I know they say it can start at around 16 weeks so I'm curious if I should worry? I'm pretty overweight so I would also like to hear from other overweight women to know if that could be why I'm not feeling anything? I know one reason could be an anterior placenta but I haven't been able to see my doctor for 6 weeks so I have no idea if that's my reason or not.

Answer

No. I didn't feel my son move definitely till probably 20-21 weeks.

Answer

Update** 
Went to my doctor today, I found out I have an anterior placenta and baby is growing right in track! Thanks to everyone who gave their Input 😍😍😍

Answer

I didn't start really feeling my baby boy till last week/this week consistently I'm 23 weeks now. I was feeling it before but didn't know what to was!!

Answer

If it's your first baby itsreally hard to tell at first that the baby is kicking. When I went to my midwife she asked me if I had been feeling maybe like a gas-like feeling and I said yes kind of like bubbles and she said that was my baby and I couldn't believe it because once the days went by I started noticing them more and it was my baby. So just because you might not feel hard kicks which I didn't feel until about 23ish weeks doesn't mean your baby isn't moving (:

Answer

currently 19 weeks baby is doing well don't feel any movement my doctor told me 20-22 weeks

Answer

I'm plus size with anterior placenta,  didn't start feeling big movements until the 20-22 week time frame. Midwife told me not to worry so much about kick counts until then.

Answer

16-20 is the average they say and if you are overweight possibly longer. 
I am 16 weeks, overweight prior and I have an anterior placenta. I don't expect to feel for a while yet.

Answer

I just started feeling it last week at 20. Don't stress :)
