Well I actually didn't start feeling a lot of movement until I was 23 weeks & that's actually how I found out I was pregnant I'm now 25 weeks n the movement get stronger little by little but also the baby is moving n you can't feel it or know.

My obgyn told me that you won't start feeling regular movement until she (my baby) is 21-26 weeks gestation. I won't start feeling kicks till she is 26-30 weeks gestation. It's perfectly normal to not feel the baby right away

Could be that your placenta is at the front then you won't feel anything for a little bit longer.

Yes this is my first pregnancy Im now 24 weeks and barely feeling movement.  My obgyn told me not to worry I just think its odd . I have pregnant women I talk to and all of them started feeling things around 3 to 4 months .

Is this your first pregnancy? My first one i didn really feel him much until about 27weeks. My second(current) ive been feeling since about 16weeks. Every pregnancy is different and alot of factors go into how you feel movement.

It's normal for it to be intermittent when your still earlier on. Something as small as baby changing positions can make a big difference on how much you feel. It will get much more regular as you get further along.

Im 21 weeks with my 2nd baby and overweight i feel when she moves like little gas bubbles somedays i dont feel her. But make sure you take to your doctor. They can check babys heartbeat and ultrasound.

How heavy are you? Overweight mom's, depending on severity, take longer to feel their baby due to all the added tissue.

Though if you are in the normal/underweight range and you aren't feeling the baby by now, go see doc.
