With my first daughter I felt movement at about 19 weeks...this one I am 21 weeks and still only feel glitters. At my ultrasound today, she was moving all around, but I still don't feel it regularly...just placement of placenta and baby I guess lol

A lot of it is placenta placement...i felt my daughter at 13w and by 18w mu hubby could feel the kicks...im 17w5d now and just started feelibg subtle movement about 10 days ago...but def stronger kicks the last coupke days...i asked my OB & high risk dr (i go weekly) they both said the same exact thing...this preg the placenta is attached right square on the front of my uterus so they said it inhibits the ability to feel kicks...but they both assured me when the baby gets bigger and stronger...i will feel them a lot more :) last preg my placenta was against the back of my uterus...so i felt everything...it wont be long ladies...and the lovely kicking wars will begin :)

I'm on my second n felt her at 18 n a half weeks n my first on that exact Day of 18 weeks. But if you're bigger you won't feel it as soon.
