Anyone else still waiting to feel their baby move? I’m about to hit 21 weeks and think I *may* have felt her move once but feel like I could have just imagined it.
I’m a first-time mum so know it will probably take a bit longer to feel her, but so ready for it so I can stop worrying that something might be wrong. Thank god for scan this week!

I’m 21 weeks tomorrow and i felt him move when i was around 19 weeks but was only internal. Now it’s more intense kicks and more frequent too especially when im laying on my back. They say usually you’ll feel between 16-25 weeks i wouldn’t be too worried. Hopefully you’ll feel her kick and move soon. Good luck with the scan ☺️

I wouldn’t be concerned because once baby starts kicking and jabbing it never stops… I’m 39 weeks and 5 days and she’s still moving and grooving in there

Do not stress. I started feeling bubs at around 18 weeks but it's my second so everything starts that bit earlier. With my first I don't think I got movement until around 23-24 weeks. You will feel it soon enough ☺️

I had movements from about 18w. It isn’t my first child, but I have had an anterior placenta for all of them and felt movements quite early on for all of them. Sometimes it’s hard to know what to expect and it can also be missed if you’re busy doing things throughout the day. I remember my first movements feeling like questionable tingling or tickles. It’s important to remember that not all pregnancies are the same and some women don’t feel movement until later on.

21w5d and might have this week but not sure. First pregnancy too and doc said not to worry until week 24
Thank you everyone for the messages - they really helped. And ironically two days after I posted this I started feeling little bubbles/bumps under my belly button…!

I didn't feel my first baby move until about 22 weeks due to an anterior placenta. I've got a posterior placenta this time round, and I've been feeling him move since ~16 weeks.
