    when are you due for a checkup?? All babies are different with their moving. If you have an inkling something is not ok, I would go with that and get checked out.
    Im seeing my doctor tomorrow i could ask her, but my ultrasound isnt until next week, i cant have one any earlier, its all booked

    The Dr will be able to have a feel and listen to the heartbeat tomorrow... you won't need to wait until the ultrasound. Try not to worry, I know that is easier said then done xx

    I know it's a late reply HotI, but I saw my dr on Monday afternoon & asked her the same thing. Is was feeling movements at 14 weeks with this one, then nothing for a week or two, then I go a day or two without anything. I also have an anterior placenta. She said they don't tell people to worry about counting kicks til 24 weeks for this precise reason. When they're smaller & particularly when your placenta is anterior, movements are rarely noticeable. I've just realised this week that drinking Ribena works my baby up... Had a glass with dinner & bub is having a party right now. It's only been this week that I've felt movement every day.

    All my girls have been different in the movement stakes.

    With DD1 i felt her around the 21 week mark (just from the inside) and around 24 weeks on the outside

    with DD2 I felt her first movement at 11w! and it just went from there. I felt outside movement at 14 weeks...and that was with an anterior placenta!

    with DD3 I didnt get any consistent movement from the inside until closer (if not after!) 20 weeks. It was also really hard to pick up external movement until i was at the end of the 20s (anterior placenta as well).
