DONT WORRY
things that delay movement
~Being a first time mum it can take up to 25-30 weeks
~having a placenta at the front of your uterus Ask your doctor this cushions the babies kicks
~having a baby rolled to the back so its feet are pointing away
~being overweight
These are all normal, remember your due for your anatomy scan soon and when they check your baby they will tell you its appropriate for dates which means its growing well and doing ok.
This is reassuring, the kicks will come soon enuff, TRUST ME

No I didn't feel mine until around 20 wks. You may have felt it but not known it because the first movements are so light. Like butterfly wings in the belly. If your worried though see the doctor. The facts you get in books are not always the norm just a generalization. Every baby is different and so is every pregnancy. Maybe your not as far along as the doctor thinks you are, you know they do make mistakes sometimes. And the date he gives you as a due date is just an estimate.Try not to worry.

Dont worry about it. I felt my baby move for the first time at 4 1/2 months but it wasn't a lot. I felt her more regularly around 21 weeks. If you're a thinner person you're more likely to feel the baby earlier than if you're a heavier person but usually 5 months is the norm.

In general, a first time mother feels her baby move from 20 to 22 weeks.
For subsequent pregnancies, the mother may feel the baby move at earlier gestations, as early as 16 weeks.

No. If this is your first pregnancy you usually don't feel your baby move until you are about 4 months along, but it also depends. Your baby isn't big enough to really feel it move. You should feel little flutters in your stomach like you are getting butterflies in your stomach. Sometimes they are so light that it is hard to tell what it is. If you have any concerns just go to your doctor.

Have you felt any fluttering or tickling? If so, that's your baby. Go to the doc. Usually around the 4th-5th month, you should feel slight kicking and poking. It may still happen for you, but still go to the doc to make sure things are progressing ok. Blessings to you.

No. According to WedMD, you should be feeling the baby move anytime between 16 and 18 weeks. And anyway the movements can be so gental, you won't be sure what you're exactly feeling.

no, because it is early for that. You will probably start feeling the baby in a few weeks. At first it is like fluttering and later you cannot miss the feeling. Good Luck.

Maybe not, some times baby's are lazy and sleep while you're awake, and are awake while you sleep. You should feel the baby move frequently in a couple of weeks, if not really consult your doctor !
