baby movements??? -

baby movements???

I am a soon to be first time mom and am just looking to get some feedback. I'm at 22 weeks and have not felt ANY movements, kicking, fluttering, etc... One of my own OBGYN's told me she herself didn't feel anything until week 25, but I still get paranoid. I have my next appt. at 23 weeks so I know I'll feel reassured once I hear his heartbeat, but in the meantime, should I not be so worried?

Many thanks.

Nah you should settle down. I didn't feel my 1st move until 26 weeks and my second until 32weeks!! My 2nd was facing back, so any movements he did make, I wouldn't have felt. My husband only felt him kick once! I am sure that you and your baby are fine.

same thing here, I didn't feel my son move until really late in my pregnancy. To the point that they gave me a stress test and I could hear him kicking, but still couldn't feel it. He was breach until the last 2 weeks of pregnancy and THEN I felt him nonstop.
I wouldn't worry about it at all :)

I wouldn't worry too much it's not good for you or the baby. I would wait until your apt. to hear the heart beat before make yourself sick with worring too much. I didn't feel my little guy for about 26 or 27 weeks, and then when he did start moving all around etc it was like he never stopped lol. Some babies move before or at the est. time and some take longer and then sometimes some wemon feel little to no movement (like the wemon who didn't know that they were pregnant) Don't worry yourself sick sweet heart!

i didnt feel my first until about 24 weeks. and my second was 13 weeks. it was crazy. just relax and enjoy not getting your insides kicked to beat. lol its amazing but when they start kicking you nerve and your legs give out, then youll wish it was back to not feeling them.!!! it really is amazing the first time though, and everytime after that.
