Hi I am 20 weeks pregnant and haven't felt my baby move (that I am sure of) Dr.s say it is okay some people don't feel it until later. My problem is that for the last 3 days My lower tummy hurts really bad. The nurse told me (on the phone) its just my uterus growing but, none of my friends remember this pain. I don't know if I should go to the Dr. today. Please advice

you should go to the dr just to check, but i do think is your uterus growing...it shouldn't hur real bad though.....The first time I felt something was around the 19th week, then nothing and I got really worried, but my dr said the same to me,the baby was still small and could be kicking or facing in,so that's why maybe we didn't feel it. The other reason is that first time moms don't know what to expect so it's harder to recognize these movements. I started feeling movements again (and strong ones) in week 22, now i'm in week 25 and i feel her all the time, it's so amazing.
Good luck honey,congrats on the baby and go seeyour dr just to be sure.

I remember the sides of my tummy hurting/aching about that time. It was from the stretching of the uterus as it grows. I think everyone describes it differently. You should start feeling the baby move in a few weeks. I believe anywhere from 16-25 weeks is normal, depending on how many children you have already had. First pregnancies usually take a little longer to feel the baby move than subsequent ones since the uterus is already stretched out a bit. Good luck!

Any type of pain should be taken seriously. It may be nothing, but it is alway s worth checking into. If the Dr. don't take you seriously, maybe it is time to get a new Dr. Best of luck.

My wife went through this with our second child. It can vary from person to person as per our doctor. I would recommend you go in to get a checkup if you feel something isn't right. So long as there is a healthy heartbeat, you shouldn't worry too much; your doctor is probably right.

It is your uterus growing. Please dont be alarmed. its natural. all pregnancies are different You will have things they didnt and they may have had things you wont. Your uterus has to grow with the baby and it does cause some pain/discomfort.
