Can't feel the baby move?

Question

I'm 16w3d and I have not felt the baby move at all. I've had 2 other kids so I know what it feels like when they move and I have not felt it this time around. I guess what I'm wanting to know is if I should be worried? Any one else not feel movement yet?

Answer

No don’t be worried babe. Although at 16 weeks my third I was seeing him kick on the outside of my stomach… I am pregnant with my fourth and have been feeling the same muscle flutters for weeks. My point is…. Clearly all pregnancies really are different. I expected to be seeing bubba kicking from the outside of my stomach or feeling at least stronger kicks seeing as my third I did by now…. But nope. If anything the last week I have felt her more faint than I did last week 🤷‍♀️ weird

Answer

I just felt movement at 18 weeks 3 days. This is baby #4 for me.

Answer

I thought I was feeling movement then the sonogram tech told me it was probably just gas. 😬😬

Answer

I felt movement for 2 days around 16 weeks. It's my 3rd so I'm positive these were actual movements, but I haven't felt any since and I'm 17+5. I've heard from others that it's normal and around this stage baby just has to be in the right spot to feel the movements. I don't have another appointment until 2 week of November so in just hoping for the best.

UPDATE:
17w6d today and I started feeling him move last night. I'm so happy to have that extra reassurance that he is doing ok in there!!

Answer

It could also be due to where your placenta is. Mine is on top above our baby so my Dr said I probably won't feel anything until I'm around 20 weeks. To make matters worse this is my first pregnancy so I don't even know what baby kicks are supposed to feel like. I probably won't believe it until I see my belly moving 🤣

Answer

I didn’t feel movement with my second baby until 19 weeks. I had an anterior placenta. I wouldn’t worry about it!

Answer

3rd baby at 17w5d and have only felt slight flutters randomly/ nothing consistent yet! My belly is growing rounder so I know she’s in there, that’s the only thing keeping me going until my anatomy scan 😅😅
