21 weeks and barely any movement

I was told at my ultra sound that my placenta is in a sports where I wouldnt feel movement. I sometimes feel like I feel movement but the next day nothing.. when will I start to really feel movement?? This makes me very worried about my baby

The difference between my last pregnancy and this one is HUGH! With my last pregnancy I could only feel when my daughter would kick hard...I could feel some kicks here and there about 20 weeks or so but they were few and far in-between and as she got older I would feel her move every now and then but not as often as I would have liked. The placenta was attached along my stomach so I didn't feel all of the small movements.

With this pregnancy the placenta is along my back so I can feel everything, rolls flutters kicks even I think when she turns her head lol and I'm only 22 1/2 weeks. The placenta this time is along my back.

Try not to worry if you need your baby to move drink a cold glass of water and lay down, you'll notice the movements a lot more when you have a chance to pay attention. I had to do this with my last pregnancy to re assure myself, good luck!

It's ok..you may not be able to feel the initial movements like flutters and stuff but once your baby gets a lot bigger you will feel it more. My placenta was at the very front so it would act as a cushion and I couldn't feel my baby really good until about 25weeks I'd say.
