18 weeks still no flutters

I know 18 weeks is still early but I haven't felt any flutter or bubble like feelings.

This is my 2nd pregnancy and not felt anything yet, I'm sure I had felt a lot of flutters with my 1st by now.
I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and they said my placenta was at the back.
Anyone else had this were they felt their 1st before their 2nd.

Hi. Every pregnancy is different so please get check over if you are worried, but with my first pregnancy I had placenta at the front and clumsy feel any movements before 28 weeks. As you can imagine I would freak out, especially that this was a rainbow baby. But all was good and she’s now a very lively 3 yo. So it’s possible but also always be cautions and get yourself checked if things feel wrong.

I didn't feel a thing until 20 weeks x

Same as @LadyDarkness, I had placenta at the front & didn't feel kicks until after 20 weeks. Everything was fine. The initial movements were like flutters, quite vague.

Currently 19 weeks and also no definitive flutters (a couple of maybe it was moments but nothing I’m sure about!). I’m also feeling a bit nervous but everyone I’ve spoken with says not to worry so I’m trying to take that on board.

Butterfly flutters from 19 weeks here

Similar boat - 17 weeks, baby number 3 and
nothing! Starting to worry.

Had a gender scan a week ago and baby was absolutely fine. Just got to wait until 20 week scan now but I really wish I could feel something for reassurance!

@VillageFete I'm 19 weeks today now. Two nights ago I thought I felt a few movements but haven't felt anything else since so not sure if it was or not.
I've got my 20 weeks scan next week so hopefully I'll be reassured then
