Not feeling movement?

Question

Hey all, was wondering if it's normal I'm 16 weeks and have not felt any movement yet, as a second time mom I thought I would feel more movement earlier. I know placenta isn't in the front (It was last time) was hoping to feel baby sooner? is this normal? SW

Answer

I’m 17+3 and I’ve barely felt anything and even what I felt could have been had because it wasn’t obvious kicks. My first child I felt her at 14 weeks and by about 15 and a half I was feeling her every day. My husband just keeps telling me every baby is different so trying not to freak out. Heard the heartbeat again at 15 weeks and have my anatomy scan on the 25th so trying to not think about it till then and hope I feel movement soon.

Answer

I’m a second time mom and early on I felt flutters, but not true kicks. I am currently 19wks 6days and I am feeling actual kicks now! 
Both of my babies have been breech so I think that plays a factor. He has been sitting butt down, with his feet crossed for the 4-5 weeks...when he was moving around on the ultrasound he was literally tapping dancing and jumping on my bladder. Lol

Answer

I'm on my 3rd pregnancy. I rarely feel anything but the occasional flutter. I'll be 16 weeks on Sunday. everyone and every pregnancy is different. felt my first about 19 weeks n my second about 12/13 weeks.

Answer

My doctor also said it's normal not to feel anything until 22-24 weeks. She said first time moms feel it later. Then placenta attachment location matters too. Mine attached in front and she said it's like a shock absorber.

Answer

I’m a first time mom, and I just felt the baby today for the first time!! ☺️ I’m 18 weeks 4 days. My doctor said it can take time and that it’s totally normal to not feel the baby until later. He said he gives mom’s up to 24 weeks since everyone is different ☺️
