should I be worried?

I'm 18 wks and 2 days, I have yet to feel any movement. At first I thought I was because I am overweight, but after reading a few other posts.. I've began to worry. I haven't had any serious cramping or bleeding. .. Has any heavier mothers noticed movement  at this stage or later ?

I'm a first time mom, I'm  19 weeks and slim and I haven't felt any movement yet so I'm sure it's  normal for ftm not to feel movement until after 20 weeks or so I've  read

Glad that helped (: I didn't Feel my first son until 22 or so weeks with this little guy I felt movement, butterflies, flutters whatever you want to call it, around 17-18 weeks but I knew what they felt like so I was more in tune to it this time. Each subsequent pregnancy it's easier to tell what is movement and what's just gas.

Everyone is different. Some people feel it a lot early than others. As long as yr baby is doing good I wouldn't worry. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I began feeling each baby at different times.

If this is your first regardless of your size it's normal for you not to feel anything until you're about 22-24 weeks along. Don't stress honey, you're just fine(:
