i only felt my boy from about 22 weeks that i knew was definate, i didnt have a scan until 23 weeks so i wasnt even sure there was anything in there BUT there was a AND he is measuring a week and a half bigger than he should be and im definate on my ovulation date so it just goes to show that everyone is different, trust me soon enough you will wish they would stop mine goes all day and night and has even kicked me so hard it made me wee a little! haha
I agree with the other posts... I had times where I felt this bub moving, and then a period where I felt nothing at all. I ended up calling my midwife and getting the doppler put on just to reassure me. The next day was the morphology/anatomy scan and bub changed position and I have been feeling him/her very consistantly since... right now I can feel every little movement including hiccups.
It is amazing what a difference a few weeks will make. I am sure you will be feeling your bub moving around lots in no time.
Don't stress Stevie I'm sure all is fine. About 2 weeks ago I started feeling frequent movements and I was so excited, I was just getting used to them when a week ago they seemed to stop! Thankfully I had a doppler and was reassured by the heartbeat. I noticed at around that time my belly started to chagne shape and move upwards so I figure bubs just moved making movements harder to feel. I am feeling them regularly again now. I also did a bit of reading which said that movements at this stage are erratic and don't necessarily have a pattern. The book also said that it is completely normal at this stage to feel bubs one day and then nothing another day or even for a few days. At this early stage there are still so many movements that bubs makes that we cannot feel. It also depends a lot on the position of the baby - it may have been facing out and has since turned around and is now facing inwards. Also as some of the other girls have said it depends on the position of the placenta.
I felt something last night that was the baby for sure.
I was watching tv and I had my hand inside the waistband of my pants because they were digging in a bit. First I thought my hand had a bit of a twitch... but then it happened again. I could only feel it with my hand, I couldn't really feel anything with my stomach (if you know what I mean). But it felt like a kick.
I ran upstairs for DP to have a feel but ... it all stopped.
So try not to worry. I wasn't expecting to feel anything for weeks and weeks.
