little fetal movement at 19w5d...concern??

[cpatow]

So I've read that fetal movement can come anywhere from 17-23 weeks and they don't worry much if there hasn't been feel-able movement until after 22 or 23 weeks. Is that true? Any of you know? I'm 19w5d today and I feel like I've maybe had a flutter or two but nothing where I'd say AH HA that's movement. This is #3 for me and I don't remember when the first "real" movements came w/ my earlier pregnancies. Two weeks ago they had a strong heartbeat and everything has been normal thus far but I just don't know whether I should start to be a little concerned that I'm not feeling much?? I know they also say if you're thin you'll feel it sooner and if you're heavy you'll feel it later. I'm the latter so I'm not too worried, but do want your feedback.

Thanks ladies!

thanks everyone!!! you're making me feel much better. My 20wk ultrasound is a week from yesterday (I'll be 21.1 wks then actually) so I'm trying not to worry, but of course kept having nightmares last night that my little guy was stillborn...HORRIBLE. Talk about needless worry. sheesh.

I'm currently 22 weeks now and I feel her moving around, like she's swimming:)  But I only could really feel her after my 20 wk ultrasound but before that I felt the flutters which my dr. told me was the baby moving.  Even now I only feel her sometimes and not all the time, she's more active in the morning and when I get home from work around 7 pm..

I am the same way. I was feeling the baby every so often but then I had some bad cramps on New Years Eve and they went away later that night and really haven't felt much else; should I be worried? I go for my U/S tomorrow and don't want to be upset?

i'll be 19 weeks tomorrow... and i'm not feeling much movement at all.
very few and farbetween i'll feel slight movements.
usually when i'm sitting up, and my jeans waist line of my maternity pants is crunched and pushing into my belly.

can't feel anything with my hand from the outside.
only inside movements.

I am 19 weeks pregnant, this is my second baby and have felt no movement. I do not have an anterior placenta and I a thin so I could have written your post. I'm thinking maybe this baby is just a little laid back as I all ready felt dd by this time in the pregnancy. I know it's hard to relax, but I'm sure both our babies are fine!

I'm in the same boat. I'm 18w5d and have felt maybe a couple of flutters and one kick so far. This is my 3rd as well. Baby 1 wasn't until 19 weeks. Baby 2 at 17, but I was 10 pounds lighter then. And, this baby the placenta is in front so the ultrasound technician told me not to expect to feel much before 20 weeks. Doesn't help my nerves completely, but all other tests and heartbeat checks have come back fine so far. Hope we both start feeling our little ones soon!!!

I didnt feel anything till around 20 weeks and it wasnt very often (and was actualy after my 20w U/S).  I wouldnt worry tooo much, you'll be feeling your lil one soon.

I didn't really feel anything until I was 22 weeks.  I'm 27 and I feel her all the time now.  Do you have an anterior placenta?  That could also be why you haven't felt anything yet.  I have that and that's what the doctor and the ultrasound specialist told me.  You'll feel movement soon!
