I'm getting freaked out

JE4
So I'm 20 weeks today and I haven't really felt My baby move . I do have three other children so I know what I'm looking for but I haven't  yet felt it. I am much heavier then I was when I had my other kids but I have read it doesn't matter . I have my apt next week with the doc. I'm so scared something could be not right:(

Plus the position of the placenta can cause you to feel baby later.

I wouldn't freak out yet. I felt my son early around 20 weeks and didn't start feeling this lil girl till around 23. She was movin like crazy I just couldn't feel her. Watcher her on ultrasound and she was goin crazy but I didn't feel it at all! So weird. You would think you'd feel everything! Don't freak your self out everything will be good just a different pregnancy!  Good luck and congrats!

I'm pregnant with my 3rd and I didn't feel definite movement until 22 weeks. It made me pretty nervous too but all was well. Turns out she's just a mellow baby :)
