no movement
I'm a FTM who is 17 w 3 d and yesterday I had two friends ask if I've felt the baby move yet. I responded "no, but I'm really looking forward to it". They were both shocked that I haven't felt a "flutter" yet. They both told me that was really bad and that there must be something seriously wrong with me! I almost cried. My last appointment was two weeks ago and everything looked good. The Dr didn't have any concern other than I've gained 14lbs in 4 1/2 months. Now I'm concerned. I was about 20lbs over my ideal weight and I've heard that if you're heavy it might take a little longer to feel movement. Help!!!

You're friends are duh.
You're fine. I didn't feel anything until 19w (flutters) & not real movement until 24+w.

I felt flutters around 17 and 18 weeks, but I didn't feel full on kicks and movements till about 21 weeks.. You're fine! This is my first and everyone told me I felt them early! Don't freak out or listen to your friends, they probably don't even have kids lol.

Ftm here didn't feel movement until 22 weeks. My uterus is actually tilted very far forward and my doc said I would probably feel movement sooner than most, but I didn't! It also just felt like gas at first. I couldn't distinguish baby movements until I actually got kicks lol. Now he kicks me all day every day and my SO can feel it. You are perfectly normal! As long as doc says your baby is healthy then no worries! You will feel kicks soon!! :)

I didn't feel movement until I was 20 weeks as well, every pregnancy is different.

Second time mom, and didnt feel movement this tine till 23 weeks.

What!!!?? You won't feel movement that early! That is so wrong of them to say that. My first I didn't feel movement till about 5 months. My second was like 15 weeks when I felt flutters.

What is wrong with those girls you never freak out a pregnant mom like that!!! People can be clueless!!!! Honestly
I didn't feel any kicks with my first until 22 weeks, please don't worry, your doctor would tell you if there was an issue.

Agree with others...I didn't feel what I KNEW was movement until 23 weeks. There were times around 20 weeks I was like ...hmm, maybe, but I wasn't sure, I had never felt it before!

Dont listen to them. With my 2nd (4th including my two mcs) I didnt feel her until 21 weeks. Every baby is different. Dont worry about movement until 28 weeks. Until then baby is small or could be moving where you just dont feel it. Its normal.

I didn't even feel strong movements until 20 weeks with my first? How old are you friends? They sound like 13 year olds that have no idea what they are talking about

Someone needs to smack the s*** out of your friends. I didn't feel anything substantial until 19/20 weeks.
But seriously, who the f*** says that?!?! Makes me livid they'd make you worry like that.

You're a FTM and everyone is different.
You should smack your "friends" in the mouth.

I think they simply forgot what pregnancy was like. Both of their children are 5 years old. But yeah, (to my two friends who scared me) please stop freaking this ftm out!

Yea I didn't feel my first little flutter until 17w 4d, and then not again for a few days after that. Then a few days after that.. It was super inconsistent to start.
Your friends have no idea what they're saying lol

Sometimes women don't feel movement till around 22 weeks, don't panic.
