20 weeks - can't feel any kicking. Anyone else?

[Bartimaeus]

Last week I was signed off work and felt a few, very faint flutters (which I would have missed if I didn't know I was pregnant and expecting movement).

Now I'm back at work and not feeling anything. This is probably because I'm sitting most the day so don't notice it as much as when I was lying down but I am wondering if this is "normal"?

I bought a count the kicks bracelet and the papers with it said you start feeling flutters at 16 weeks and more definate movements around 20 weeks, which you can start to monitor.

So, I suppose my real question is had anyone else only felt flutters or no movement at 20 weeks? (this is my first)

I found if I lie flat and hold my hand on my belly I can feel the odd 'poke'

I bought myself a fetal heart monitor just to ease my worries also :)

Hi Bartimaeus i'm the same, 20wks this week and getting very faint flutters/bubbly feelings very low down in the pubic area. I thought i'd be feeling more at this stage given this is my 3rd, but from what i've been reading, it's fairly normal not to be feeling too much at this stage and a lot of ladies seem to have anterior placenta (detected at 20wk scan) than means you don't feel baby move as much

I have an anterior placenta and didn't really feel anything till around 26-27 weeks.

Hi Bartimaeus I'm 21 weeks and I thought I felt something yesterday for the first time, but haven't had anything today so maybe it wasn't afterall!! The lady that did my 20 week scan said that she didn't feel anything until 22 weeks with both of hers. Also FWIW, my mum and nan say they never felt any kicks, their children just rolled rather than jabbing, so didn't feel anything until the baby was big enough to feel them rolling around.
