Can’t feel baby’s kicks

Shay • Single mama to a baby girl 💜

I’m just about 19 weeks. I can’t feel or see baby girls kicks yet... I have a Doppler and use it a couple times a week just to make sure she’s okay. But not being able to feel her or see her little kicks is really discouraging me. Everyone keeps asking if I can feel her. I say not yet and some people (including my mom) keep saying “oh well you should be able to feel her by now” etc. So now when someone asks. I just say yes because I hate the negative feedback... I know some women don’t feel the kicks until they’re 20-22 weeks. I’m so in tune with my body, so I for sure thought I’d be able to feel her sooner than this

I also have a posterior placenta. So the dr said I’ll be able to feel her move even more. And when I have ultrasounds, she’s moving so much and the tech says “omg you can’t feel that” like no.. 😔
