OK I have a question.... I'm having my first Son and I don't feel him kick as much as I thought I would..is this normal are boys lazier than girls at the beginning??(I have a 8yr old girl and I want to say by now 17weeks I felt her move a lot more but don't quite remember to well) I sometimes get scared since I don't feel him and right away I pull out my Doppler and sure enough I pick up on his beating Lil heart so its relieves me 😊

I have an anterior placenta as well so that's why, they have to kick that first and then we will feel it thru our tummy, but that also means they must be bigger in order to kick stronger
I didn't even feel strong consistent kicks till almost 30 weeks
@prego89, anterior placenta isn't bad. Just muffles the kicks until he gets stronger. :)
@emeliaday, yes that helps me a lot and oh I hope I don't have that ..I feel him move but not as much as I was expecting to feel him ..maybe its just to early also lol
I have an anterior placenta. Didn't feel my boy until almost 25 weeks! The Doppler kept my mind at ease
you really won't start feeling him on a constant basis until 22 weeks or so
@valereleo, yeah that's what I thought since I'm only 17weeks but since this is my first son and second baby in 8yrs I thought I ask if boys are just lazier than girls lol
@valereleo, OK thanks I'll start monitoring that and his heart beat is always the same ..I went for a ultrasound last week and gave us a hard time cause all he wanted to do is sleep and use my placenta as a pillow lol
I also just saw you're at 17 weeks and they say not to even start counting until like week 26 because you just won't feel him as much until he's bigger
they say all babies are different. just count how many kicks are average for him in an hour and then make sure he doesn't go below that. The dopplers are nice but if you wait for the heart rate to drop it could be too late. always trust your gut. if something really seems off just go in and have them check him
@zaysmomma, OK thank you 😊
