lack of movement. ..

I am 16 weeks and four days with my fourth. I still am not feeling movement.  Im not sure if I should worry yet. I dont remember when I was feeling movement with the other three. My hubby seems worried by it but I keep telling him its fine cause he has enough stress to deal with already. So, what are your thoughts? Due to money and a bad vehicle I've only had one ob appointment. My next one isnt till the 10th....

I couldn't feel my son kick till he was about 20 wks because the placenta was in between him and my tummy.

Hey definitely don't stress.  Whether it's your 1st baby or your 10th every baby sits in a different spot and grows at a different rate and moves when it's ready. I felt my second at 16 weeks but only because I've been told I've got a very strong kicker in there. Every single doctor will tell you not to stress until 23 weeks! So you've got plenty of time to feel those first  movements. Head up :) xx

Well I felt my second baby at 12 weeks... So every one is different and it could be that you are carrying baby different and further back so you aren't feeling as much movement. But bodily they can give you some answers on the 10th.
