I did post a couple of weeks back but I’m so paranoid!

18 weeks following a healthy pregnancy and then 2 miscarriages.

I thought I was feeling some wiggles a couple weeks back. But just feeling nothing now. I’m so paranoid!!! Bump growing, no pain or bleeding, feeling good. Just desperate to feel some
Movement now! Anyone else?

I'm 21 weeks and only just started feeling anything. They said it's because my placenta is at the front, so it can sort of block movement feelings for longer. My friend didn't have much movement through her pregnancy and the baby was just lazy I think 😂 she's 2 now and terrifyingly busy x

18 weeks is very early to feel movement, I didn't feel anything until 21/22 weeks in both my pregnancies. Try not to worry.

Same here - 19 weeks and still not feeling anything much. It’s my second pregnancy too. I had an anterior placenta with Ds so assume I may have one again and that’s shielding things...

Can you see your midwife easily? Since 16 weeks my midwife has said I can pop into her weekly clinic and listen to the heartbeat for reassurance? Yours might do something similar?

I think i saw that 18-20 weeks is the norm
I started feeling movement on my second pregnancy at 20 weeks

Thanks everyone!

My placenta was anterior with my little boy so I’m thinking maybe it’s the case again

Yes my midwife is an angel, I had my
16 week appointment 2 weeks ago then she booked me
In for tomorrow so I can have another listen for reassurance. Scan is on 24th, can’t come
Quickly enough!!!!
