Feeling baby move ?

Question

I’ve been told it can be harder for you to feel the baby if you’re plus sized. I’m 18 weeks and rarely feel the baby move. My Dr said give it a few more weeks but I’m starting to get anxiety about it. Anyone else have a similar situation?

Answer

Plus size mama here myself. With my first I felt flutters at about 14 weeks but no consistent and pronounced kicks until 20-21 weeks. This is my second and I felt flutters at 14, I’m now 18 weeks and I feel flutters multiple times a day but I likely won’t feel those pronounced movements for another couple of weeks. Hope that helps!

Answer

I couldn’t tell feel my baby move til I was about 25 wks. I was 230ish. At 1st, it’s like little flutters or the popping soap bubble feeling on your skin, but inside of your uterus.  Don’t worry, just enjoy every milestone. Take cute bump pics, photos to enjoy your pregnancy and have fun  with your pregnancy. . May you have a safe a healthy pregnancy, a safe delivery and comfortable, but speedy postpartum 😄

Answer

It is common for first-time moms to not feel their baby move until around 20-25 weeks. However, if you are plus-sized, it may take a little longer to feel those movements. It's great that your doctor has reassured you, but if you continue to feel anxious, don't hesitate to reach out to them again. Remember, every pregnancy is different, and what's most important is that you and your baby are healthy.
