Hey everyone.im new here and im 14 weeks now and im a little concerned because my freinds have asked if ive felt the baby move yet and I havent.is this something i need to be worried about or no??

14 weeks is normally too early to feel fetal movement hon, especially in first pregnancies.

With my first, I didn't feel movement until 19 weeks.

It was with my third that I felt movement at 15 1/2 weeks.

Honestly, it can take up until week 24 to feel movements so please don't worry. Your baby is a little tiny thing right now and even though he/she may be moving around, you won't feel movements. With my third, I had a 3D scan at 16 weeks and was amazed how much my baby moved and yet, I couldn't feel 99% of the movements.

I don't blame you. If I had been asked that in my first pregnancy, I would have worried too.

Nope you wont feel it until 16 weeks or later probably im at 15 and havent felt mine yet either so dont worry.A few more weeks and theyll be kicking away!

My cousin asked me constantly if I started feeling the "flutters" yet. She started when I was like only 13 weeks. It drove me crazy. I read you normally start feeling them 16 weeks or later.. When my 16 week came it drove me crazy I never felt a thing!
I didn't feel anything til the 19th week. Now he never leaves me alone!

Agreed, every pregnancy is different. They say you're more likely to feel movement earlier if 1. You're really skinny or 2. It's not your first pregnancy.
Just hang in there. You have nothing to worry about!

In complete honesty i felt movement at 14 weeks but it was only very light
movement which felt like bubbles popping in my womb really down low
and it was only when I was sitting/laying down. This is known as "quickening"
Some people feel these, some people don't feel anything until proper kicks
start occuring.

Everyone is different babe - you'll know when you first feel bubba move
