Anyone else not feeling movement?

[3 Little Monkeys]

I'm almost 17 weeks and still I don't really feel anything. Very occasionally I *think* I feel a flutter across my lower abdomen but then I won't feel anything for days and have convinced myself that it's just gas or something. I'm really bothered by it because I felt the girls much earlier than this (maybe this means it's a boy this time...) As of last Thursday I know everything was fine, we heard the heartbeat at the doctor's office, but it bothers me that I'm not feeling anything yet. If this were my first, or even my second I might be able to just let it go, but this is #4 - I thought I'd be feeling things by now! Anyone else not feeling anything?

Well, up till yesterday I would have been saying yes. I have occasionally felt something, but it's mostly the baby rolling around, hardly any kicking until yesterday when I scared it when I sneezed :LOL poor kid flailed around for a good 15 seconds. Even today though, there isn't much kicking going on- just rolling. Maybe you are too busy to really notice it?

:LOL poor baby

The being too busy thing is possible - afterall, chasing after a 4 yo and a 22 mo as well as being mama taxi to an almost 11 yo, keeping house (well sort of) cooking, etc. I've spent time just sitting though trying to actually focus on the baby and still I don't feel anything. I hope I start feeling movement soon.

I'm still laughing at you scaring the baby with a sneeze :LOL

19 weeks here...nothing. It's my first but I still expected to at least feel a flutter by now!

I think I felt my first one at around 20-21 weeks - well that's when I realized that what I had been feeling was the baby and not my icky hyperemesis plagued tummy.

Me. Last week I had 3 days straight of good strong movement. then nothing since really. I had my u/s and saw the baby moving monday.
I think today i felt some things, but still not alot.
I think it was close to 22 weeks befoe I felt alot, since I am "padded" lol.

i haven't felt a thing yet :( i'm 18 weeks today and i've been so eager for this milestone!! i have heard that some don't feel it until well after 20 weeks, so, who knows??

glad i'm not the only one

I almost never felt realy obvious movement till 5 months with my first 2 ,just the odd flutter.

I'm glad to know I'm in good company then - I was beginning to worry again. I don't know why I've been such a worry wart this pregnancy, it's like I'm looking for something to be wrong - it's making me feel like I'm going coo coo :nut

I'm not really feeling much, either. Occasionally I *think* I feel a flutter, but can't tell for sure. I am not at all worried, thoug, because I feel quite pregnant! :)

Sherri- I'm 17w today and I think I may have felt a couple of flutters, but I'm not really sure. It may have been gas. :LOL I have been eating lots of broccoli lately :wink

I thought that with twins I would be feeling movement by now, but I know that they are in they in there, I heard the heartbeat(s) just last week so I know they are okay.

[3 Little Monkeys]

Wow Liz, I also thought that with twins you would feel movement sooner. Broccoli huh? I still can't look at it yet - don't know why but broccoli just turns my stomach right now :scratch

Last night I dreamed about feeling movement - I felt a little foot traveling across my belly. I even knew in my dream that it was WAY too soon for that, but I enjoyed every second of it. I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow

I concentrate and feel mostly my own pulse beating down there. I did feel something one morning last week, but that's all. I can barely wait for regular movement.

I think I felt movement on Saturday! This is my first pregnancy, so I'm not really sure what to be looking for.... but I'm pretty sure that it was the baby. It made me think of a goldfish bouncing off the sides of a fish bowl. :)

I am almost 21 weeks and havn't really felt any movement yet. I am trying not to worry about it. It is my first pregnacy and I am pretty well padded in the tummy area too. But people keep asking me and I feel bad when I say no. I talk to my baby and tell her to go ahead and give mommy a kick but I am still waiting. I will let you all know though!
