ur still early to feel her all the time. When i was 28 weeks my dr said as long I felt him a couple times a day he was fine. At that point they are still too small to feel every movement and if their kicks are more aimed towards your back you won't feel it, and alot of the time they sleep. They also go through growth spurts where they dont move as much. When i started getting worried about Brantley not moving I would jiggle my belly and then he would usually kick the crap out of me. You can also try eating or drinking something sugary. Also if you drink really cold water and lie on your left side for a lil bit u usually feel the baby moving away from your bladder and the coldness. or try shining a flashlight at ur belly they wy\ill usually move away from the light. If you arent feeling her and are worried about it call your dr and they will let you know if you should be concerned or not. I hope this helps

I started feeling her and really noticing at 18 weeks. My little one is extremely active and already showed us her dance moves during our US. I keep hearing that everyone is different and just because you aren't feeling him/her to much yet you may later, or he or she is just gentle in their movements. The best time I've noticed my little one is right after I eat fresh fruit and lay down. I rarely feel her when I'm up and busy.

Do you have anterior placenta? Sometimes that can make you feel baby less.
