Just that really.
I'm 17weeks with second baby and not felt anything yet. Thought I would have by now, sure I was feeling first baby round about now, and thought it would be earlier second time round.
I know there's no need to worry really but read too much recently- count the kicks etc - and can't help worrying a bit.

I'm 20+6 and have been feeling flutters since around 17 weeks with definite kicks since roughly 19 weeks. It was few and far between at first but is now settling into a regular thing.

Anything up to 22-24 weeks is normal, even in a second pregnancy. Baby still has lots of space so could be kicking towards the back or against the placenta (even more so if it's an anterior placenta).

If you're at all worried speak to your MW, she should be able to have a listen for you. I know it's worrying, I've had a mc and a mmc and uncertainty is the worst feeling in the world.

I'm on second pg and I didn't feel anything until 19 weeks and then it was only light flutters + my 20w scan did confirm an anterior placenta. At 24w (tomorrow) I am now feeling kicks and lots of movement but I would say it was just flutters until about 21w+

As CBear suggests if you are worried speak to your MW hopefully she will help put your mind at rest, in the meantime try not to get too (I won't say don't worry as we all do it at times) worried

Thanks for your replies.
Good to hear not everyone feels second babies really early!
I had a bit of a bubbly feeling this morning, which didn't result in wind as has happened previously (TMI?) so maybe I'm on my way to proper movement...
