20 Weeks & still can't feel bubs moving...

[Nai]

I think DD1 was 21 weeks before I really felt her move but I had an anterior placenta and she was fine. It is worrying though! I first felt her move when we were at the movies, nice and relaxed and there was some really loud noises - I think it made her jump so maybe try doing that?

It was about 22 weeks before i felt movements, and it was driving me crazy! There is a poll somewhere and some people didn't feel movements til around 24 weeks and everything was ok.

I loved every movement i did get, and i think it was cos i had to wait so long. I don't know anything that helped,one day it just happened.

hope it's not too long for you

congrats on your scan results

Oh, the anticipation must be driving you crazy!!! I can empathise, I didn't feel bubs move until after 20 weeks either. For me, at first it kinda felt like a muscle twinge- you know, a bit like a flutter in the muscle? It was very soft and if I was busy, I would never feel it. I thought I'd feel it in front, but it was around the side! I first felt DS when I was at a concert- I think he liked (or hated) the music! Also, as time went on and I thought maybe it had been a while since I'd felt him, I'd have a cold drink, or something to eat and it'd wake him up and he'd let me know he was ok. Hope you feel bubs soon!

i wouldn't stress too much, with baby #3 for me, i didnt feel baby moving properly and regularly until i was about 23 weeks. and that was baby #3!! you'd think i would have felt him earlier. it depends on where your placenta is, sometimes that can mask baby's movements until they get a bit bigger and stronger.

all the best for your scan!

Hey hungry,

I totally understand I first felt my baby move at 17 weeks but even to this day it isn't a regular thing (Today she is very quiet). I read that some babies are naturally more active hence personality etc then others cos they could be chilled out bubs.

If your scan went good then your bub maybe a chilled out lil fella or you may have different times when he moves eg: When your a sleep he is podding around in there Either way if I do get worried I either do light exercise or drink a cuppa tea which in most cases does the trick When I lay down I first lay on my side then roll onto my back for a minute and usually that helps too.

Congrates on the lil boy too

Hi there.

I didn't feel any movement with DD until I was 24 weeks...every body, every baby and every woman is different..

I didn't feel anything till DS1 was 26 weeks (low lying anterior placenta), DS2 was 24 weeks before I felt him move.
