Chubby moms.

Curious, I was chubby before getting pregnant. And wanted to know if I will feel the baby move a little later then smaller women. I feel fluttery movements but that's about it. I'm 20 weeks today.

I've had one miscarriage and now I always worry over the small things I try not to think something is wrong. When she moves I feel better But when I don't feel her man I'm crazy.

Well 1 to have a few extra pounds on me (218lbs) and I felt flutters at 14 weeks, big kicks and a lot of movement at 18 weeks and now I can see the movements from the outside at 24 weeks. Every one is different so don't worry to much :)

I feel small movements at 20 weeks. I'm just paranoid that I don't feel those strong kicks or punches or rolling around.

Your weight I don't think would make a difference i, like you, had some extra to  love before I got pregnant and I didn't feel baby really move until 19-21 weeks because of where the placenta grew. Which is at the front so even now (I'm 30 weeks tomorrow) I feel his kicks above my belly button and down by my vagina and my hips but a big spot in the middle is a dead zone

I weighed 120 pre pregnancy,  it took me until about 18 weeks to feel hard kicks.
