some women dont feel movement at all. i think it has a lot to do with where your baby is at, like if they're more towards your back then you pry wont feel movement as much. i myself didnt feel my son move till i was about 3months along. looking back i may have felt flutters before that but mistaken it for gas bubbles :)

This is my first pregnancy and I honestly didn't feel a THING until around 22 weeks. Believe me I was freaked out, but my dr told me sometimes it takes longer to feel them. I'm now 26 weeks and he kicks a little more than he used to, but it's still pretty sporatic (sp?) and I haven't felt any big kicks yet, just little ones here and there. Don't stress! If you're worried your dr can always reassure you too :)

No. A lot of women don't feel anything until after 20 weeks. And if your baby is facing towards your back it could just be that it is kicking inward instead of outward which makes it much harder to feel. If you are 18 weeks then you should be having a doc appointment soon. Bring it up but I'm sure everything is fine and you will hear a nice strong heartbeat.

I maybe felt a kick once but that was it!  Turned out my umbilical cord was very long and she had no space to move about.

With my second baby I felt her at 20 weeks along.  It is fine.  But it is also fine to worry like a good mama would.

I felt mine at 17 weeks, but everyone is different and i think it has a lot to do with the baby's position. I wouldnt be worried, but, if you're that worried about it, why not make an appointment and have the doctor listen for the heart beat?

Ok so I felt butterflys at like 13 weeks... And hes been kicking the crap out of me sense I was 18 weeks..  

it depends on 1. how thin you are and 2. where the placenta is in the womb. 


At least thats what my doctor told me...
