Plus Size & Feeling Movement?

I felt the baby at 18 weeks but have maybe only felt it once since then. Shouldn't the feelings be getting more frequent and stronger? I worry about everything!!!! I'm thinking maybe because I'm plus size I may not be able to feel as much but not sure. This is my first pregnancy @ 20 weeks now. TIA!

I'm plus size too and this is my 2nd baby, I felt her at 13 weeks. But then I'd go for days or weeks before I felt her again. It's not because of your size it's because it's your first baby. You may mistake the movement for being something else sometimes.

I was getting worried im glad I came across this post good to know im not alone. How are you ladies feeling now? Any movement?

Well I'm 18 weeks now and I still havent felt anything at all. I think maybe us bigger girls might not feel the baby as early or as often as smaller girls. Just my opinion I'm not an expert.
