no it can depend on how heavy you are and sometimes it feels more like tickling then a full movement so give it time it is a little early still you will soon!

When should I start to feel my baby move?
You probably won't feel your baby kick until sometime between 16 and 22 weeks, even though he started moving at 7 or 8 weeks and you may have already witnessed his acrobatics if you've had an ultrasound.

Veteran moms tend to notice those first subtle kicks — also known as "quickening" — earlier than first-time moms. (A woman who's been pregnant before can more easily distinguish her baby's kick from other belly rumblings, such as gas.)

Your build may also have something to do with when you'll be able to tell a left jab from a hunger pang. Thinner women tend to feel movement earlier and more often than women who carry more weight.

What does it feel like?
Women have described the sensation as being like popcorn popping, a goldfish swimming around, or butterflies fluttering. You'll probably chalk up those first gentle taps or swishes in your belly to gas or hunger pains, but once you start feeling them more regularly, you'll recognize the difference. You're more likely to feel these early movements when you're sitting or lying quietly.

How often should I feel movements?
At first the kicks you notice will be few and far between. In fact, you may feel several movements one day and then none the next. Although your baby is moving and kicking regularly, many of his jerks and jolts aren't yet strong enough for you to feel. But later in the second trimester, those reassuring kicks will become stronger and more regular.

If you're tempted to compare notes with other pregnant women, don't worry if your experience differs from that of your friends. Every baby has his own pattern of activity, and there's no correct one. As long as your baby's usual activity level doesn't change too much, chances are he's doing just fine.

When you feel the baby kick varies from woman to woman. Generally speaking most women feel it around 18 weeks. If its your first pregnancy you will recognize it later than a woman who has already had a baby. If you are overweight significantly it will also be later in pregnancy. As long as you don't have heavy cramping or bleeding, assume for now that everything is okay.

I didn't feel any movement until I was about 20 weeks, if this is your first pregnancy you may not feel any movement until 18-22 weeks!

Its not bad at all. It is normal not to feel any movement until the 5th month. If you are overweight or this is your first baby, you'll probably feel it at about 20-22 weeks. You could feel it as early as 18weeks, but you might not realize that its your baby moving. don't worry, you'll probably start to feel it within the next month. congrats!

No I don't think there is a problem with your baby not kicking at 4 months . My kids didn't really start kicking til the 5 month but to make sure check with ur doctor to see if ur babys ok so u can easy your mind and to check up on ur baby.

Unless you're VERY thin, most women don't feel the baby until 5 to 6 months.

My oldest sister was a preemie herself, and only weighed 90 lbs when she got pregnant with my niece...and she felt it at 4.5 months..but there just wasn't much "room" for my niece to move in, you know? :)

Congrats hon!

no and don't worry a lot of women don't feel anything until well into their 5th month. Don't stress, it's not good for you or the baby
