When should I start feeling my baby move?

Question

I’m 18w3d today and I haven’t felt my baby move yet? I don’t remember when I started feeling my son move during my first pregnancy I’m just a little worried.. should I have felt her move by now or is this normal?

Answer

I’m 18 weeks tomorrow and I haven’t felt baby yet either. I heard it could take up to week 22. I’m trying not to stress tho but it’s encouraging to hear I’m not the only one. Could be anterior placenta cushioning the kicks or just not knowing that what your feeling is tiny movements. I thought I might have felt something once but I couldn’t tell if it was that or gas. Kinda hard to distinguish when you have never been pregnant before

Answer

With my first, I didn't feel anything until 20 weeks (and even then, it wasn't consistent). This is my second and I've been feeling things on and off from 15 weeks, but it's only because it's my 2nd and I know what it feels like. It's not consistent and most days I don't feel anything. I have anterior placenta with both, so it takes longer to feel distinct movement. So don't worry, it's totally normal!

Answer

I’m 18+2 weeks (second baby) and finally got a hard kick yesterday. I mainly feel her (it’s a girl) ball up and itspretty painful but I definitely feel when she repositions

Answer

With my second it was around 18/19 weeks. It also could be were you’re placenta is. I am 18 weeks and I’ve been feeling the baby move for a week now. I feel her down where my bladder is. Come to find out she’s standing up right now and my placenta is at the top of my stomach in the front
