Larger Women?

Question

Any one feeling the baby move who are a little larger than average. I'm 20 weeks ftm and I haven't felt my baby girl yet. Anyone know when I should feel that first flutter?

Answer

I'm 17 weeks and 250 lbs and I feel the movement and have felt it for a few weeks now. I think it has to do with your ab muscles but also how in tune you are with your body.

Answer

I'm 222 16 weeks 6 days. I only feel my baby girl every now and then. Since this is your first time being pregnant you might be confusing it with gas bubbles. Lay down on your back an relax eat some ice that should get her to move allot or even push on your belly were you feel her and concentrate you will probably feel her then.

Answer

I'm about 220  and this is my second.(I was nearly back to my prebaby weight😢)  and 18w this time baby feels like gas bubbles and I feel it mostly during the evening when I'm relaxed. They have gotten slightly stronger. I only started to notice them about a week ago. I don't remember what my first felt like so early on.

Answer

I'm 235 and 19 weeks with my second.  I can't remember when I started to feel my first, but I am only now feeling him every so often.  Nothing consistent.  Hang in there and give it a few more weeks!!

Answer

I was 270 when I got pregnant. I am 20 weeks and have started to feel this lil one about 2-3 weeks ago. It was hard to distinguish, but I finally did. I can sometimes feel the baby move from one side to the other. I have felt a few taps, especially when watching a movie in the theatre. I have also noticed my baby likes to hang out by my hips, so I can feel it when getting in the car... Don't worry your baby will make their presence known soon!

Answer

I was about 190 and 5'3" when I got pregnant. I've lost weight but I know I've been feeling her since about week 15. I wasn't sure till about week 19 that it was her. Just know that if its your first time you won't notice as easily because you don't know what you're looking for. I'd say you'd feel it no matter what weight since it's from the inside, though. So keep that in mind. But as people have said, gas bubbles is probably what they'd be confused for right now. Little inner thumps lol

Answer

I'm 19 weeks and I usually feel her move at night and when I play her music. She tends to kick when I play her R&B. I didn't know what the difference was until my doctor told me what it felt like so maybe when you go to see your OB you can ask

Answer

I'm 190lbs and 17 weeks and I feel my baby all the time. I had a nurse point out to me when the baby moved, what it felt like. So now I can distinguish it. 
It's just a feeling my body has never felt before. It's magical.
