Baby movements?? Help am i thinking to deep?

So I'm 18+3 and I feel my baby move all the time, but my main concern is when the baby moves I touch my stomach to see  if I will feel it with my hand or even see my stomach move. I can't feel it with my hands or can't see it, should I be worried or it's just because baby probably isn't that big or my stomach might be fat (I had kind of a stomach before I was pregnant).

I know how you feel this is my 2nd baby & my oldest who is 5 hated he couldn't feel the baby move sooner then he did. I actually woke up one morning with my son sitting next to me with his hand on stomach hoping to feel the baby, scared me to death & I almost peed on myself...lol. He finally felt him move at about 22-23 weeks.

Putting your hand on your stomach is good because sometimes you can't feel it any other way. You don't actually have to count kicks for another couple months.

Everything is fine I am almost 30 weeks & I can't always see my baby move when I look at my stomach. Don't even get me started with being able to feel him move when I put my hand on my stomach. He hates when people touch my stomach & stops moving as soon as some does. I do think part of it is that your baby is not really big so It may maybe hard for you to see the movement. Just be patient you see movement & be able to see feel the baby in no time.
