When did you start feeling clear movement with your second baby?

[Lady Lilya]

I am 16.5 weeks, according to the official method (based on LMP). I still haven't felt anything I can say for sure is a baby. A few times I felt a little twinge kinda low in my pelvis, but it could have been digestive.

Is it unusually late to not be feeling anything?

Does it mean I have an anterior placenta? What are the consequences of that?

I didn't feel movement with my second until closer to 18 weeks and I believe the only consequence to having an anterior placenta is not being able to feel movements...It is also my understanding that it poses no health problems to either mom or baby...

[Lady Lilya]

Okie.

Thanks!

I might be feeling something now and the last week or so... but not that I can really confirm- I am 14.5 weeks.

I had an anterior placenta with my first and it was much later then now 18 weeks maybe?... but eventually I did feel them and by the end they were strong and hard kicks - she was also pretty laid back and calm in the womb (and still is) so she just did not move as much as some babies I think.

10 weeks BUT I feel mine abnormally early (felt my first at 14 weeks)

its totally normal to feel nothing at 16... 18... even 20 weeks for some ladies without anterior placenta, later with anterior. Doesn't mean baby isn't moving around in there, just that you haven't had a good movement that you have noticed yet.

I think I felt my first around 22 weeks, second around 18ish weeks, 3rd around 10 weeks, 4th around 22 weeks (had an anterior placenta with her), and this one around 10ish weeks was when I started to notice flutters but wasn't really sure it really was the baby for another couple weeks. All very different.

My first I felt at 16 weeks... With my second (I found out I was pregnant with her just barely 3 months pp) I felt her wiggling around at 10 weeks.

The first *clear* movements I've felt this (2nd) time started the 16th week.

i thought i was going to be the only one!

clear (to me) flutterish baby movements at 10 weeks, but more of the kick and punch stuff around 15-16 weeks.

I guess it is still too early to guess anything based on lack of feeling movement, then. I guess I won't worry.

I think with my second it was around 18 weeks. I wouldn't worry about not feeling movement at 16 weeks.

My first was around 20 weeks. My second at 16 weeks.
