when to worry if you not feeling movements?

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.

i don't think i even have a baby in there. i'm just getting fat and irritable.

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).
