Hi,
I'm 17 + 3 today and still barely showing at all and haven't felt baby move yet.
I know I'm probably worrying unnecessarily but anyone else in the same boat?
Thanks

I didn’t show until 23 weeks and didn’t feel movement until around then as well. Don’t worry OP, 17 weeks is early!

When i had my 1st DD i popped at 22 weeks and i didn't feel her move till i was 24 weeks. Its normal for your 1st not to feel them just yet.

Don't worry OP! This was me at 18 weeks with No.2 and didn't feel proper movement till 21/22ish weeks. Don't stress x

I worked in a pub as a student when I was pregnant with DS. Kept it quiet to keep my job until 23 weeks - then couldn't hide it any longer. Popped out overnight!

Oh flipping heck! Lucky ladies! I carry so far out I'm a beached whale around then Grin even when I was tiny I looked like I was robbing beach balls in the early days... But you're soon going to start growing!! Lol Flowers

I'm 18+5 with my second, my first is only just a year old so I thought I'd be massive as I'd always heard you're bigger the second time around. I'm half the size but was 10x bigger than a normal pregnant woman last time and still haven't felt baby move

I found out at my 20w scan my placenta was anterior and so I didn't feel movements until 24w. Try not to worry! 17w is very early for anyone

17 weeks is still early, especially with a first baby. Enjoy it! Before you know it you'll have a huge belly and your baby will be kicking you awake all night Grin

melting anterior placenta first time for me. Very cushioned movements, I could see and feel my belly moving (late on) but never a hard kick or the crazy movements you see in other people videos. Really hoped this time I'd get some proper movement. Bloody anterior again!
