18 weeks

I am almost 18 weeks with my second baby and haven’t felt movements, it’s getting me so worried, I think it’s just because you hear so much about feeling movements sooner with second baby (my placenta was at the front with my first baby and think it may be this time) Also I did experience hip / knee pain during the night when sleeping but that seems to have gone away the past few days. May be a silly thing to become worried about 😅 How is everybody else feeling?

This is my third baby, I was feeling my second baby regularly by now. I've just found out I have a anterior placenta so I haven't really felt this baby move yet either. I haven't felt slight flutters/bubbles but no distinctive movements x

@Lauren thank you for your reply! yes I have been the same too! I had a private scan a couple of weeks ago and she said that my placenta was anterior so maybe that’s why I have only felt flutters / slight movements that you second guess. With my first baby I wasn’t as worried I think this time I’m rushing things along a little because of what you’re told to expect! x

Hey, second baby here as well and anterior placenta again. I started feeling movements in the 19th week. Now 20 and they’re still very sparse. It does seem crazy that with the size of the baby we’re not feeling them much or at all but it is quite normal at this stage still. It’s so hard not to worry though.
