20 weeks and don't feel him yet. Thank goodness for my Doppler so I can listen to his heartbeat. It has been so nice to have that! It's different for everyone, don't worry!

My wife is almost 20 weeks now and still hasn't felt anything ...not only because it's her first pregnancy but also because the placenta is in the front opposed to the back so that will also make it take longer to feel the baby

I'm 19 weeks and skipped the "flutter" stage and went straight to kicks.  I first noticed at 17 weeks but blew it off as maybe gas?  But now there stronger and definitely know there kicks

I'm 19 wks and asked the doctor why I wasn't feeling her kick much even tho she wouldn't hold still in her ultrasound, they said it's because my placenta is in the front so instead of baby girl just punching me, she has to punch through a big pillow. Once she gets a little bigger and her fists grow more, I'll get the full effects. :) don't worry ur fine! Everyone is different! Congrats!

Im 21 and I just now have been feeling the amazong kicks of Sophia! Ive learned that she kicks more if I lay on the side her feet are at instead of laying where her head is. Some sleeping positions I dont feel her at all.

If its your first, you won't feel it as early as second time moms. So it is normal.

Im 19wk + 5days and i feel this one kick me more at night than days. Plus im on the fluffy side so some days i don't feel it. That why i have my doppler to make sure baby is ok. Also this is my first. You will feel her move soon. :) Maybe if you sit still or lay on your side very still you may feel those little thump/ bubble feeling.
