I started feeling the baby move around 17 weeks but doubted it because many sources say 20-24 weeks for your first. But at my 20 week ultrasound the doctor said I should feel movement based on where the placenta attached. Apparently the placenta's placement has a lot to do with when you feel the baby, and it is completely random. She said the placement doesn't matter at all from a medical perspective so there is no need to worry. Good luck!

If this is your first pregnancy you might not be feelin baby yet! If you're really worried, like I was, I'd recommend purchasing a cheap 20$ doppler to settle your fears :)

No this is my 3rd pregnancy. My first didn't move as often as my second and she was a girl so maybe its a gender thing idk I did the early gender check at 16 weeks my next. Ultrasound is Dec 5th so I may wait idk
I would, it's just a week :) perhaps your baby is just on a position that you can't feel it.
