Baby movements

Hi everyone.
Im currently nearly 18 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. Due mid sept. I havent felt any baby movements yet. Ive been told that in 2nd/3rd pregnancies mothers will feel baby move and kick a lot sooner then usual. With my first pregnancy i felt my daughter moving at 16 weeks. Is there anyone else like me?

To add to this i have been in and out of hospital, following an accident at work to my abdomen i had 3 weeks of bleeding. Baby has been scanned etc and its fine. Phew! No one can find where i was bleeding from.

Am i being paranoid after the worry before?
Thanks! X

I had the same worry this time as I felt the movement much later than in my first pregnancy. I had a scan at 20 weeks and there was baby waving his arms and legs around like crazy on the screen in front of me but I could feel nothing. It was just down to the way he was facing.
