I'm 17 weeks pregnant and i haven't felt my baby move yet, should I be concerned???????

Answer 1

No, you shouldn't be concerned. Besides, you already visit the doctor regularly (I assume) so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Answer 2

No, you can relax. Most women start to feel their babies move between 16-22 weeks. If this is your 1st pregnancy, it may be towards the later weeks of the range. Also, you could be feeling the baby move but you are mistaking it for gas or hungry rumblings. The first feelings are like swishing or popping so alot of times we dont even notice them right away. I'm 16 weeks with my 2nd baby and within the last week I've just started feeling those little movements. Don't stress, it will happen very soon!

Answer 3

No don't be concerned! 16-20 weeks is about the average for first time moms. Some people, like me, felt the baby for the first time sooner, and some will feel the baby even later. As long as you are feeling okay (other than regular pregnancy symptoms) and have heard the heartbeat at your doctor visits, there's no reason to be alarmed.

Answer 4

Is this your first baby? If so then it is completely normal. I am pregnant with my first and felt movement very rarely between 16 and 17 weeks. I am almost 19 weeks now and feel I more often but it's still pretty subtle. Wait a couple of more weeks and don't worry :)

Answer 5

If I remember right between 16 and 20 weeks I felt my children move for the first time. But if ever you have concern of course you should check with your doctor. It's your baby after all.

PS and congrats!

Answer 6

No. I didn't feel my daughter move until I was 20 weeks pregnant and I didn't feel my son until I was 19. Even when you do feel your baby move, it'll only be a little flutter. You have a ways to go before you should be feeling your baby move everyday. I know you're probably anxious wanting to feel the baby move...but don't worry. Everything's fine. Just give it a few more weeks.

Answer 7

First babies are not usually felt until around 20 weeks. With my son I was 21 weeks and with my 2nd pregnancy I was 12-13 weeks.

Answer 8

I wouldnt be if your just concerned about 'feeling' he/she move. If youve gone to your follow up appointments and doc says everything is fine. Then dont be concerned about the movement, I was 5 and a half months preg when i first felt my baby move so it just depends. Maybe she/he is a lil lazy and try eating something spicy, or drink coke and that'll get them moving..

Good luck,
once u do feel them move, its so amazing, congratulations!!

Answer 9

No its moving but you just cant feel it yet because its too small and not strong unuff if you dont feel the baby kick by 25 weeks you shuold go to the doctor x x x

Answer 10

You probably have felt it but didn't know that's what it was. I didn't get all of kicks and thumps until 25-26 weeks or so, where I actually knew that's what it was. I'm sure everything is fine. It's still pretty early. Soon enough, that little one will be keeping you up at night dancing in there!

Good Luck and CONGRATS!

Answer 11

No worries at all!!

Think of your womb as a gaint balloon that is slowly being "inflated" as the baby gets larger. Depending on your body size and shape, you may feel the baby by name. Sometimes you won't feel the baby until 25-ish weeks.

Also remember that babies around this time have a sleep pattern. Sometimes they will have quiet days where they don't do much. Other times they have active days where they are crazy.
