I'm Currently Feeling:  | When did you first feel your LO move?
I know I am only 17 weeks but I have not felt any movement, no fluttering or anything. It says in my book around 15 weeks you should feel movement. Is it normal that i have not felt anything yet? |

| DOnt worry hun, can be anywhere from 16-22 weeks. Sometimes even a bit later. Also if you have an anterior placenta it can be later as the placenta masks the kicks.
My LO's movements are still irregular and not that strong  |

| Hopefully not long to wait! I think I was about 16-17 weeks when i first felt a flutter but they were so faint I may have imagined them. Even now its still more of a bubble popping sensation with the odd thud. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | My first movements felt a bit like wind so i may have missed a few before i realised it was the baby moving....also it depends on where you baby is and whether or not how active it is.....not sure whether this is true but a pregnancy book said alot of babies get active at night because when you are walking about the motion sends them to sleep! Thats why alot of babies start kicking at night when you want to go sleep! So it may be kicking and your asleep and dont feel them!
Try not to worry....!! x |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | No worries.I felt mine at 18 weeks for the first time.But it's perfectly normal for first kicks to happen even at 22 weeks! So,just a bit of patience!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I wouldnt worry yet. As the others have said it could be because its your first, or your placentas position. I felt this one really early but I didnt feel my first till after 20 wks.

I'm Currently Feeling: | Ok I am just going to have to wait a few more weeks! I just thought I would have felt something and because I am getting cramps it is making me worry. But I am still hearing the heart beat so things must be okay right? |
