Hi,
I have my 20 week scan tomorrow but I'm just worried i still can't feel anything!
When did everyone feel the first movements with 1st baby?
A few weeks back i would feel a movement inside which was just asif id gone over a bump in the car, you know that feeling, whenever i stood up or bent over but unsure if that was baby as I've nothing to compare too🤞🏼

Hi @mill2304 I'm 19 weeks today and for about the last 3 weeks I've felt flutters, at first I wasn't sure it was baby but it's getting more regular so I guess it must be! It's so hard to know isn't it! I think it's also pretty normal to not feel anything til a bit later like 23 weeks so I don't think you should worry at all.

Enjoy your 20 week scan! Mine is a week today 🥰

Hi @hellymum21

Oh I know the feeling @mill2304 I always assume the worst but I'm learning to enjoy my pregnancy and it's passing so quickly! X

@hellymum21 you're right about that! It only seems 2 minutes and half way there already!
Hope everything goes well for you💗

I didnt feel a thing with my first until 20 weeks, in fact it was the evening following my 20 week scan that I first did.

Hey @mill2304

I'm just over 19 weeks with my 1st. I don't think I've felt anything either. Its a bit confusing as I feel a little bubble - but how do I know if thats the baby or just some tummy rumblings? Hmm

mill2304 · 15/10/2020 15:38

@loobyloo1234 exactly what i thought, the things i felt couldve been my stomach rather than the baby.
Its hard having nothing to compare too isn't it xx

Totally. I wish I knew what it was supposed to feel like. Sometimes I lay in the bath just staring at it hoping that somehow I can force some movement haha! I did read its usually between 18-24 weeks though so fingers crossed we feel something soon Smile

I was 23-24 weeks before proper movement. 20 week scan baby was going crazy and couldn’t feel a thing.
