still waiting

I'm 21w 3d and still waiting to feel my baby move.  I'm a ftm and have an anterior placenta.  Sometimes I think I feel "flutters", but it is so infrequent that I doubt that it is him. I want to feel a real kick.  I really want my boyfriend to feel them on the outside too, so it feels more real for him.  Anyone else in the same situation?

This wait is driving me crazy! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one, so I know nothing is wrong with him.  I'm just jealous of everyone who has been able to feel their babies lol!

I'm the same too I'm 24 weeks and only felt my baby girl very faintly at 21 weeks at night . At about 23 weeks I could feel her much better to my sides and bf can feel her there too as not as cushioned  by the placenta I guess. Trying leaning to one side . But at 21/22 I felt her quiet low down.

I'm 22w4d. Just felt my baby boy like 2 or 3 days ago. I have an anterior placenta too. All of asudden I was laying on my back and I felt movement like bikini line low. It's not a whole lot but I definitely know it's him. My fiance still hasn't felt him. It'll happen.

Those flutters are most likely your daughter I'm 21 weeks 3 days and I don't feel her all the time. I just feel her 2 to 3 times a day. Mostly at night. And its just a flutter here and there.

It could very likely be your baby that you're feeling. I know you're impatient to be able to feel baby but don't forget that some first time mom's don't feel their baby at all until like 23 weeks.

I was 20w 5days when I felt a bump down there, it was a very gentle tap (girl) it brought tears to my eyes cause I was happy. I'm a ftm as well. It will happen soon, enjoy the flutters they are the baby :)
