Just that really...I thought I had started to feel movements at 16 weeks but haven't felt anything at all for, not sure, a week maybe? 16 week appointment and scan were both fine.

I've got an anterior placenta but I've had that with all three. I was definitely feeling movements by now with my other pregnancies. Anyone else had similar?

Hi, I didn’t feel any movement in my 2nd pregnancy until almost 20 weeks. Baby was healthy and I had no concerns.

I have an anterior and I only started really feeling anything at 22 weeks. Within one further week of that, OH can feel him move, so super late to feel movement and quite early to feel them outside tummy. It'll happen, each pregnancy is different, the placenta may be sat higher or lower than your other times. I feel pretty much all my kicks lower down, so assume my placenta is quite high.

First pregnancy for me was pretty much the same as Screwballs.
This time I have a posterior placenta and felt movement at around 14 weeks but like you said, I’d then go days at a time without feeling anything so it definitely can happen. Now I’m 22 weeks and baby is very active and doing well.

Anterior placenta here. I went for a scan close to 20 weeks and she was dancing away, going totally crazy. I couldn't feel a thing 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks everyone. I thought my worrying would be less this time round!! But seems you still worry no matter how many babies you've had before 🤦‍♀️
