how much movement are you feeling?

[mcs]

I am not feeling too much and i sure wish that i was. i thought that with your second pregnancy you were supposed to feel things sooner (acctually i did feel some movement really early on- like 11 weeks.) I don't remember anymore- how much are we supposed to be feeling at this point?
i read sooo much with my last pregnancy, but havn't picked up one book this time- and i can't seem to remember when things happened as much as i thought i would.
i guess this is my worry week. anyone want to chime in and help me feel better?

How many weeks are you?

It could be that you have an anterior placenta, that cushions a lot of the kicks and rolls.

I am almost 18 weeks and I don't feel a lot. I get flutters once in while but I also remember with ds that I had a hard time feeling him in the beginning too.

I feel movement a few times a day. Usually little flutters and once in awhile (usually after eating) a good poke or two.

i am 17 1/2 weeks.

I'm 16 1/2 weeks, and not feeling much at all. I keep thinking I feel something, but then it just turns out to be gas.

I'm 16.5 weeks too and can feel some "popcorn" sensations, but only when I lie still and focus.

Not much. I get some flutters and taps now and then. I'm 17 weeks.

I'm 17.5 weeks and haven't felt anything. I felt something I thought 'maybe' was it, but that was days ago and I haven't felt anything since. I could have sworn I saw something move last night, though! Is that possible? It's probably because I watched that crazy video on YouTube of babies moving inside their mamas. I can't imagine that I would be able to see it and not feel it.

I'm 18 weeks and I don't feel much either. In fact I'm not really sure if I'm feeling anything. Last time w/DS I felt nothing until 21 weeks.

[De-lovely]

Nothing really and I will be 19 weeks Sunday....makes me very paranoid.

[GooeyDay]

I am not feeling anything that I can discern from gas!

I'm 20 wks and just started feeling definate movement about a week ago. Before that I just felt fluttering that may or may not have been the baby (or gas, LOL).
Now there are definate kicks and pokes.

[dcgrl]

I'm about 17 weeks and haven't felt anything. This is my first pregnancy. I have felt what seems like a little nausea and general weirdness in the belly lately, which is weird because I never had morning sickness. I keep wondering if maybe that's the beginning of the flutter I'm told to expect when I first feel him moving around.

I'm 19w2d and my placentas are anterior. I just really started noticing a few movements a few times a day.

Hang in there, it's still pretty early when "average" is 18-22 weeks.

[scheelimama]

I have felt movment for quite awhile, but have only really started feeling it more frequently in the last week or two (I'm 18w 2d).

I used to feel more movement when the babe was very very low in my pelvis. Now that the area is bigger to float in and the placenta was heard on the right/front then the babe has given me less taps and bumps. But they're still fairly regular nonetheless. I am pretty sure my placenta has something to do with it though. Too bad the placenta doesn't keep the babe from mashing it's head up under your ribs in a couple of months, huh???

Or grinding it's head into your cervix! :
