Feeling Baby Move??

Question

I'm 20.5 weeks and don't think I've felt my baby girl yet. It's my first pregnancy so I know it could take a little longer, but I'm getting anxious! I know she is healthy(we just had our anatomy scan) but I want to feel her!!! A few days ago I felt a Pop feeling that startled me while lying on my side, unsure if that was movement or just growing pains? Anyone else still waiting?

Answer

That pop is what I consider the first movements I felt, glad that's how someone else describes it too. I described it as a kernel of popcorn popping 😃 now I know I feel my baby and it just feels like movement. Hope you feel it soon!

Answer

Do you know where your placenta is?  Ask your OB.  If you have an anterior placenta (on the front wall closest to your belly) The placenta will cushion and dull the baby's movements for longer than most pregnancies.  I'm in that boat and at 19 weeks can feel a hard lump slowly moving around sometimes, but no kicks or quickening.  Nothing to worry about!

Answer

When I was pregnant with my daughter I didn't feel her till I was 20 wks also. At 25 wks my husband was able to feel her

Answer

U will be fine. U will feel her soon. Keep in mind that if u happen to have an anterior placenta then u will feel her less and later on

Answer

I'm waiting as well and I'm 20 weeks

Answer

My little one's movements started as little pops here and there and I never quite knew what I was feeling, but as they've become stronger I'm certain that's what it was. I'd feel a pop or flutter one day, then nothing for a couple, then I'd feel it again. It's progressed quickly. I am 20 weeks and 4 days and can feel him move like crazy several times a day.

Have you considered getting a doppler? I got one around 16 weeks and could hear my baby's movements before I felt them.
