Most women feel the baby move by 20 weeks. If your placenta is attached in the front, you may not feel them until later.

I didn't feel baby move until I was 5 1/2 months so don't panic wait a couple of weeks and see if you feel the baby move then. If not talk to your doctor. If this is your first pregnancy you might not know what to look for, you might think its gas but it really is your baby, I am 27 weeks and when I first felt my baby move I didn't know what that was. So lay back and stay still for a while and see if you can tell if your baby is moving.

No, you probably are just not used to what it feels like. Plus,very thin women have an easier time feeling the difference between their own intestines functioning, and the first movements of the baby, its really hard to tell whats bowels and whats baby.
Some women dont feel anything noticeable until well into their 5th month.
Eat something sugary, and go lay down on your side. Be very still and just wait. You will feel little flutters, kinda like gas, only it doesnt move anywhere like gas would.
At some point your little bambino will be in just the right spot, and be just strong enough to give you a good kick.
If you're really concerned, go have his heart reate checked. But its pretty common for first time moms to have a hard time feeling the baby move in the begining :)

if you're 5 months and don't feel the baby moving, then you should definently tell your doctor. you should have already felt some kind of movement by now. it's normally between 18 and 23 weeks that you should start feeling the baby move.

You will probably be feeling it anytime now. The baby has been moving for a very long time, it is just small and you can't feel it at first. If you are going to the doctor regularly and they are hearing a good heartbeat I wouldn't worry. You'll probably feel it in the next couple of weeks. You may be feeling it already and not realize it. It is a very soft fluttering feeling at first. Later on you'll really be able to feel him kicking you in the ribs.

Different people feel the baby at different times. It can depend on how your baby is positioned, where your placenta is located, how small/big you are, etc. I think I felt mine around 4-5 months, so be on the lookout! There's nothing wrong with you.

You should feel the baby by 20 weeks gestation age and if you don't feel any movement by 22 weeks discuss it with your health care provider.

18 to 20 weeks for first timers
16 to 18 weeks for second times
Bear in mind that these are averages and we are all different but if ur worried,do talk to ur dr/midwife
