QUICKENING

[Nat2210]

Hi there! I am becoming a little concerned. I am nearly 21 wks pregnant with my first child & i still havent felt any movements!! I thought i would of by now? I had the scan last wk & everything was fine.

Try not to worry too much, it will happen before you know it.  It also depends on your size, if you're a larger woman sometimes it takes longer to feel the baby, also it depends were your placenta is located, the baby may be kicking the placenta and that will cushion it and it also depends on the lay the baby is laying.  You will feel them soon.  Lso with this being your first, woman are sometimes unsure what is movement and what is not.  But once the baby really starts to kick and punch, you will be wishing they weren't so strong.

Hang in there!

Hi,

I didn't feel my girl until about 22 weeks. And yes, she was active and all on the ultrasound.  I'm now coming on 25 weeks and she moves quite a bit that I feel now.

Don't worry.  We're all different.  You'll be feeling your baby kicking you soon.

You will!!  If you haven't already...sometimes it can feel like gas, or little bubbles tapping...very subtle.  Especially if this is your first pregnancy.  As long as everything is fine, your little one is probably nestled so warm and cozy, he or she loves it in there!!  But once it starts...you'll love the feeling!  Enjoy your pregnancy!
