  • Usually you will not feel the baby move on a regular basis until after 20 weeks, it could be later than that, I am not for certain. I am 17 weeks and feel flutters etc a few times a day maybe every other day. If you are really concerned call your doctor, they may let you come in to hear the heartbeat to ease your mind.
  • i go thursday i really wanna wait til then im scared, and nervous is this your first one,?
  • i'm sure the baby is fine. if its you 1st you probably won't know an actual kick at 19+ weeks. this is my second and he didn't start moving a whole lot until about 22 weeks. What helped ease my mind was I would lay on my back in bed and just nudge my belly. every now and then I would feel a faint move or poke.
  • yea i know and yes this is my first one, . i just pray to god my little one is okay.

    I didn't feel daily movement until 24wks. Baby still sleeps a lot and also is still small enough to hide. Don't worry :) you're not even supposed to start counting movements until 28wks.
  • okay thanks alot i feel better now,(:
  • @iloveyu this is my 3rd, so I understand your worries, but sometimes we as mothers worry a little to much. Your baby is probably just fine and in a few more weeks you will be feeling the real kicks and then you will be on here telling us how much they hurt. Just stay calm.
  • lol,(: thank you so much, and i cant wait(: i need to stop worrying.
  • You wont feel regular movement till 25-28 weeks I'd say. At 28 weeks ur supposed to start a kick count.
  • I didn't feel kicks till 24 weeks now he kicks all the time
  • @iloveyu I was freakin out at 17 weeks 4 days and just to ease my mind, I went to the ER and heard her heartbeat. :) but then at 21 weeks, I didn't feel her move for 4 days!!! Went in again,they did an ultrasound and turned out she was behind my placenta so when she kicked, or punched it was like she was punching a pillow. Lol now ill be 25 weeks on Friday and she moves every now and then but I just have to trust God. Each time i went, she was fine so I'm just thinkin its the same. But when she does move, oh she moves! Haha I'm talking I get Sharp bladder pains and feel like she's trying to get my bladder to come out. :-D she's feisty. Is this your first? It's my first but either way.. congrats!!!!
  • Oh no worries! around 18 wks is when you COULd start feeling movements, you might not feel them for another few weeks :)
  • I'm 18 weeks still just little kicks/flutters no worries don't expect nothing big till after 20 weeks
  • 11wks and the wife thinks she felt a flutter last night. Hope it wasnt just gas :-))
  • i was freakin out too because i havent felt my baby move and im 21 weeks so i went to my gyno and the checked for the heart beat and there was a heart beat she told me the baby is too small still but to give it two weeks then i will start feelin movement
  • I started feeling the little flutters at 15 weeks but will go a couple days w/o feeling anything.
  • yess this my first one , he moves some times cause i can feel flutters and my friend saudi should be feeling him kick by now, and it just worries me i go to my obgyn thursday cant wait,(:
  • I went to the dr at 18+2 and she said the babys movement wouldn't be as consistent where its still pretty small.
  • Yea but it get me scared sometimes but i kno its too small im almost 6 months so i will give it time to kick and move
  • thanks everybody, (:
  • You wint actually feel a "kick" till at least 23+ weeks ;)
