No, my sister is just five months pregnant and JUST started feeling her baby move. If you're concerned, you should call your OB/GYN

Honey, your baby is just fine, people are gonna tell you different stories about their pregnancies, but everyone is different. My first baby never really moved a lot not even in the latest months, a lot of times I called the Dr, because I was panicked, cause I never felt the baby move a lot, the Dr. order several ultrasound and every one of them came totally perfect. to have some peace of mind just rent a Doppler form "Bellybeats" or somewhere else, that is what I did, and as long I heard that heart bit every morning I was fine. But of course if you are really worried call you Dr and let him know hopefully he will order and ultrasound so you can feel better. Good luck with your pregnancy and God bless!

Some women don't feel the baby move as soon as others do. It depends a lot on how you are built, and how the baby is laying. My first child, I felt around 6 months, but my 2nd one I felt a little over 5. It should not be anything to worry about, but if you are, consult your Dr. Good luck on your baby...

Probably not, at this stage it is really hard to feel movements because the baby is small. Are you a first time mother? Has your friend had more than one baby? They say a second time mommy can feel the movements earlier cause they know what they feel like and can tell sooner than a person who has never felt them before. I did not feel my baby move till I was 5 and a half months, at least not with any certainty, it just felt like butterflies in my belly but I did not know at the time that was him moving.

You shouldn't be worried unless you've been feeling sick lately. Diarhea, cramping, constipation, nausea, fever. I have two, my first hardly moved and turned out healthy as a horse, at 12 still a calm kid and taller than me. My daughter on the other hand, was always kicking me around and has not stopped yet, not literally, she's 8. There'll all different. Also had miscarriage with twins, and had all, or more, of the above symptoms.
Call the doctor or a nurse help line if you're not sure.

Every woman is different. It may take longer for you to feel the baby move based on where your placenta lies. Ask your doctor. I had the same experience. I thought something was wrong until I had an ultrasound and saw how much the baby was moving, yet I didn't feel the movements yet. Congratulations & good luck!

I felt my son move at only 16 weeks. I'm pregnany now and didn't feel this baby until 23 weeks. I was really nervous but my doctor gave me a great explaination that put my mind at total ease.
The position of the placenta determines how much you feel. With my son, the placenta was in the back so I felt everything sooner and more forcefully. With this one, the placenta is in the front and is absorbing the impact of her kicks. It was a huge relief to learn about this. I'm glad I could pass it along.

at about 18-20 weeks you should be feeling the baby move. but if its your first pregnancy you maybe just dont know what it feels like yet. it seriously sometimes just feels like gas bubbles. youll know soon enough, and then youll probably realize youve felt it all along. with my second baby, i felt her move alot sooner, because i could identify the feeling, whereas before, i would be like- i think i felt it, oh wait maybe not, oh there it is again i think. if you are concerned, i would definitely call your doctor and have an ultrasound done right away, not to alarm you, its nothing to take lightly. but the early movements arent like something big you feel inside you, remember the baby is like the size of a coke can if that, sloshing around inside something inside you, its a while before you feel anything major.

you may discover out what you're having in the journey that your physician does an ultrasound. it is no longer stunning for ladies to experience moves now (yet regularly no longer a good moves or as frequently yet), yet merely no longer as worry-loose as round 6 months (at the same time as the heavier and better moves initiate in any case). The discomfort is likely round ligament discomfort. Your uterus is basicly pulling all of your decrease ligaments and muscular tissues and it grows. examine which include your physician, yet I wager it is discover. i comprehend it would properly be VERY painful! sturdy success!

I would check with the doctor, something maybe wrong. I hope not. or the baby is just lazy. when you first feel the baby, it will feel like a butterfly, very light, then the baby will get stronger and give you a good kick each month.
