When Did You Start Feeling The Baby Move?

Hi all- I am 19 weeks...will be 20 at the end of this week...I still have not felt the baby move. I have not felt a flutter or anything- just digestion/gas maybe. I heard when it moved you know it.

Worried- (as usual) ~Annie

With a first baby it def. takes longer than later on. I think with my DS I started feeling movement around 22 weeks or so - with DD I was around 15-16 weeks. Also, depending on where the placenta is, I think that affects it, too. Feeling movement can be wonderful, but it can also be nerve wracking...right now you are worried about feeling movement - a month from now you will still be worried about if you are feeling enough movement!!!!!

The good news is, you are halfway there!

I started feeling it around 15 weeks. But only when I was lying down flat for awhile. I bet some of your 'digestion' you're feeling is really your baby!
