Is it normal to worry at 15 weeks with no movement yet?

I'm 15 weeks + 1 day pregnant had a perfect 12 week scan. Everything looked great, all blood results came back low risk. But recently i dont know why i just feel weird like is everything alright? Its my 3rd pregnancy and ive read many posts online of people feeling kicks by now so its just making me worried if everything is alright still? Is it normal at 15 weeks to feel like this?

Very normal not to feel anything at 15 weeks, I'm almost 17 weeks with twins and so far felt nothing. Both babies have anterior placentas so that provides a cushioning against feeling movements. My midwife said I will feel them, just maybe later on. So it could just be that you have an anterior placenta this time

Oh congratulations! Twins thats amazing, thank you for your reply that's made me feel much better just everything you read online says they feel something by this time in 3rd pregnancy and i know every pregnancy is different jjst still makes me worry abit at my scan they never mentioned whether my plancenta was anterior

Very normal not to feel anything this early. And I did feel a little worried or even embarrassed that I wasn't feeling anything even at the 20week scan as this is also my 3rd pregnancy.

She now kicks the shit out of me all day and night at 37 weeks.

I find it really hard not knowing things, and pregnancy is just all about not knowing anything. I find it super stressful and anxiety driving. But the laws of probability state your baby is most likely absolutely fine.

Oh that's interesting that you didnt feel anything at 20 weeks either, oh bless her its a nice bit of reassurance though for you, yes it's defintely alot of unknown and anxiety comes with that, but yeah i think i'm just going to stop reading post online as they make my anxiety worse

Very normal, I was about 18 weeks before I felt the quickening and I'm being generous there because it could have been gas.

There are no guarantees in pregnancy. I gave birth to my bumble bee 5 days ago when she was 38+5 days pregnant and never felt a Braxton Hick, I never got the dark line down the belly and never got the lightening.

Try not to take everything you read as gospel. They can give you an idea of what to expect but not if or when you will experience it.

I had an anterior placenta with both of mine and didn’t feel anything for aaaages! It really doesn’t sound that odd to me.

What you do have to look out for later on is changes in the pattern of movement/kicks. But at this stage I’d say there’s no need to worry.
