when am i going to feel this baby?? this has been the easiest pregnancy, better than first. i was thinner then by 12 lbs. i felt him at 13 weeks with flutters. everytime i go to dr now i hope to hear a heartbeat to make sure we havent lost it.
so far so good, i count myself lucky but just wondered
I didn't feel my daughter move until 19 or 20 weeks. My placenta was in the front, so I had been warned it would take longer than usual to feel her move.
It's totally common not to feel the baby at 16 weeks. I wouldn't worry about it, at all!!
Being able to feel the baby on 13 weeks is pretty early, i think. I'm currently pregnant too and didn't feel my baby movement until around 18-20 weeks, so i think you shouldn't be worried :) Just for your peace of mind, just ask your doctor about it on your next appointment :)
Typically women first feel those movements between 18-22 weeks. You'll feel something soon!
You will by 20 weeks or so! Hang in there--- Congrats on your pregnancy!

I think I first felt my son around 16-18 weeks as "flutters". If my doctor hadn't given me a good description, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I started "feeling" him move after 20 weeks. His placenta attached at the front, though so that may have been a factor!
I'd have the dr check to see where the placenta is attached. If its attached in the front you might not feel baby until he's way big and even then just the huge movements. Tell your dr then that you'll want to have his heartbeat checked at every appoint just o be sure. Sucks when the placenta is in the way like that, since it acts like a pillow and absorbs all of baby's kicks and punches.
With my third one, his placenta was attached kind low in the front, mostly on the right. I felt him best on my left side - never did feel him on my right. And I felt him at 10 weeks, but only on the left. Ultrasound told us that his placenta was in the front, hence i hardly ever felt him.
