Getting worried!

What week did you feel your baby for the first time? Ftm I'm 20 weeks and still haven't felt my baby move. Just needing some reassurance.

It might be a bit uncomfortable, but I feel my little girl most when my belly is slightly restricted - when I'm sitting forward in pants or if I'm laying on my stomach on the bed for a time. She also moved when my husband put his head on my stomach. she doesn't like to lose her space. : )  Don't do anything uncomfortable or for long, but it feels like something shifting around. It's a little weird.

My placenta is in the front so it's hard for me to feel my little man.  Maybe that's your problem?  I was sad about it too.

I started feeling my baby move around 12 weeks but this is my second pregnancy. With my first i didn't really feel anything until 20-22 weeks

I'm pregnant with my 2nd child and I'll be 19 weeks tomorrow. I've been feeling my baby movements since I was about 8 weeks. My 1st pregnancy I felt the baby move early also, it was more like flutters until I got further along. Give it time and you'll feel them also.

I think you're fine some women don't feel it for a while sometimes 6 months. I'll bet you're feeling the baby and don't realize it because it's a very subtle feeling. It will get stronger as baby grows.
