I havent been to the doctor yet and the health department told me I was going on 24 weeks but My partner and I can feel the baby kick and we can hear the heartbeat on a home fetal doppler. Could I be futher along than 24 weeks or is this normal?

That is normal.
But you need to get to the doctor asap. You have missed out on very important tests that needed to be done. If you turn out to be RH- you need the Rhogam shot by week 28 or you could endanger any future pregnancy
You should have went to the doctor months ago

It all depends. They would need to do an ultrasound and measure the baby, but at 24 weeks it's normal to hear a heartbeat and to feel the baby kick. Congrats on your pregnancy, good luck and God bless.

I could feel the baby kick at 16 wks, and my husband felt her for the first time at around 22-23 wks.
I'm not sure about the home dopplers, but I think they say that you can hear it as early as 20 wks.
You sound normal to me - 24 wks is probably right on. Congrats!!

Yeah, you could be further along, but not by much. Believe it or not, ultrasound was not used widely for dating pregnancies until the 1980s. Yet, doctors could date most pregnancies with about the same accuracy even when they didn't know when your last period was. Except for certain tests, a due date is just a guess anyway.

Yes you could, but you really need to see a doctor because this is a critical time in the development stage, their at the full baby stage, but with undeveloped lungs and if you haven't been taking prenatal vitamins than I urge you to start now. Congrats!

I started feeling mine kick around 16 weeks, and other people could feel it at about 20. I would say that you sound about rignt, but you should have an ultrasound done just to double check.

No this is about normal, it is position of the baby that makes these things easier.

Please go get "What To Expect When You're Expecting." It sounds like you are pretty clueless. You've already missed out on 5 months of prenatal care . . .they can't give you a more specific time frame until they do an ultrasound.
