    With this pregnancy I have an anterior placenta and 21 weeks in still hadn't felt anything. I remember at my 21 week appt after my 20 week scan the midwife using the handheld doppler and us hearing all these bashes on the mic and the midwife raised an eyebrow at me and said "you really can't feel that?". And then she laughed and said "he's very active, trust me in 2 more weeks you'll be begging to come back to this point when you can't feel him!"
    And she was right, 2 weeks later and even still now I am feeling non stop kicks and punches and elbows and knees!

    Misty I SO know how you feel, its driving me crazy
    As you know this is # 2 for us and with first I didnt feel anything until about 20 weeks
    With this one I *thought* I was feeling flutters a few weeks ago... but my 'bump' seems to have 'dropped' and I dont feel anything atm... I have even been comfortable to lay on my tummy partially again. So I was very stressed. Went to the Obs last week and bubs was fine, jumping around and strong heartbeat. She did say bubs seemed to be down low, so maybe this is why?
    I have started to wonder if I have anterior placenta too. Only 2.5 weeks until the 19/20 week scan and hopefully will have more answers then

    funny you mention still being comfortable to sleep on your belly - me too. I try to stay propped on my side (JIC) but somehow always wake up on my belly.

    I understand your worries - I am 16wks with #3 and I haven't felt movement yet! Ive been starting to get concerned too, as I felt movement really early on with my other two, and I am in the same weight range...

    Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll both be getting woken in the night with bug kicks

    It's nice just to know I'm not alone.
