I just made 19 weeks .. . When should I start to feel the movement of my baby?
Is it normal for me not to feel the baby yet ? ↓

I'm 18.5 weeks along and went to the dr. yesterday, she asked me if I felt the baby move yet, it's called quickening, and I told her no. I was a bit worried about it too, and she said that women who are pg for the 1st time should feel movement b/w 17-21 weeks. Don't worry; I'm sure everything's fine. Have you had an ultrasound yet? Do you know if it's a boy or girl? ↑

I'm now 30 weeks along, but I started to feel my baby move around 18 weeks. At first it was hard to tell though and wasn't very strong. But within a couple weeks it became very clear. My husband first felt it around 21 weeks. Now it seems like it never stops! It's so strong sometimes it hurts. But it's fun to watch my belly move! ↑

Well Colau I started feeling my little girl at about 14 weeks you may be feeling her and just not knowing what your feeling, it sometimes feels like little flutters in your lower abdomen or just maybe even gas. You will recognize it soon! ↑

Like Ashlie had said, you may actually be feeling your baby and just don't realize it. You could be mistaken the movement for gas or something else. If you feel something like popcorn popping, a swishing feeling or even butterflies this could be your baby. ↑
