I'm 22 weeks. This is my first baby. I went in to my doctor last week and she told me. that I should be feeling my baby kick in a few weeks. I then told her that I have been feeling my baby kick for over a month and a half. She said that everyone is different. I'm probably just really sensitive and that could be why I feel him kick. I have friends who didn't feel their baby kick until later on. Completely mormal, relax. It's normal.

Not to panic at all! For my 1st, I felt her kick at 17 weeks. For my I started to panic too because for my I didnt feel her kick til week 22! Im now 37 weeks and everyday the kicks get stronger and more frequent. My point is, every baby is different and unless your doctor has given you reason for concern, relax and take deep breaths....you will feel that baby soon enough. And when you do enjoy the moment!

Yup! Totally normal. This is my first pregnancy too and I just started getting really noticeable kicks at week 20. Still mostly fluttery feelings but there's a lot of them now.

I was like that too I didn't feel my little baby kick until probably 24 weeks. I was really scared as well I didn't know if my baby was okay or what was going on with her. But now I'm 30 weeks and I can feel her more a lot. So don't worry you will feel your baby move just give it a little more time don't panic.:)
