I didn't feel movement til 21 weeks and it felt like butterflies in my tummy. Everyone is different (: you will feel movement eventually. Now I'm 38wks and she's bumpin and thumpin in there like a bounce house :D

If this is your first pregnancy,  you likely will not feel anything until your 18-21 weeks, maybe a littlw until 24 even. I didnt start to feel my baby kick until by the 21st week.mI'm 36 wks now, and the baby moves like an the karate kid.

You can't make them move that early. He or she is moving already they just don't weigh enough for you to feel it yet. Give it a couple more weeks and you'll feel some little flutters, or bubbles.

I know how bad you want to feel your baby but you just have to let the baby do the work. I felt my baby move around 19 weeks as well I am a FTM. Good luck!

There's nothing you can do. It's moving in there,  you just can't feel it yet. With first pregnancies you usually feel them move around 19 weeks but everyone is different could be earlier or later.
