to expect to feel my baby moving

I am 16+4 with DC3 and am so worked up today that I haven't felt any movement in this pregnancy yet. I'm not sure why I am so anxious as I heard heartbeat but I had a mmc in November and am not enjoying this pregnancy so far due to anxiety that something is wrong. I didn't make a note of it for sure but I'm sure I felt DS2 before 17 weeks. I am so worried today.

I didn't feel anything until 22 weeks. Try not to worry, but maybe ask midwife to listen for heartbeat if you're panicking.

Oh, and I also miscarried last year and spent the first 20 weeks of this pregnancy stressing. It's only really the last few weeks that I've started enjoying it. I really hope you feel happier soon, but no decent midwife will begrudge offering you some reassurance if you need to hear the heartbeat again. When's your next scan?

You have all made me feel betterr - I think another reason why I am so anxious is my next scan us not until 23 weeks which is when they are done where I live - seems so far away and too long to wait for impatient me!

I didn't feel anything until 5 months. :)

Again nothing until 20+ weeks. Anterior placenta and DC1...

I remember seeing the 23 week scan and these little limbs flailing around and wondering why the heck I couldn't feel it!!!

Same here. After the twenty week scan and then she didn't get really active till about twenty five weeks. She was back to back. Also had a few scary moments when they couldn't find the heartbeat, midwife said baby was hiding ! Ask for another scan earlier if you're worried
