Hi! I am just now 20 weeks and feeling her move. Although,  I am still like " Is that her?? Was that a gas bubble? No..that's got to be my baby!.. wait was that the baby??!!" Lol It has been difficult for me to be patient, but you will start feeling your little one really soon!!

I didn't feel baby move until week 24 due to placenta being at the front.

Completely normal. Especially if it's your first. You will start to feel movement. One friend had told me (she had 4 kids.... I'm having baby 3 now), but she told that when you feel like the butterfly flutter feeling in your stomach that's the baby. Also if you feel that gassy tickle little rumble that's the baby too. Really your still early to really feel a lot of movement but you will.

My first movement didn't come until week 21. I was told by my doctor that it is related to where the baby actually attached to your uterus.  For me, it's on the back wall and not the front which means it took longer to feel him move. Don't worry. It will happen soon.
