Baby no. 4 and dont feel movement?

Question

hi all, I'm 20 weeks preg and I'm not feeling movement yet! with my 3 previous pregnancy's i felt movement a lot earlier! any one experience this?

Answer 1

Just remember that your uterus isn't as small as it was with your previous pregnancies.  It gets bigger each pregnancy, so there's automatically more room in there.  The baby could be doing tae-bo and you wouldn't notice, lol.  

Enjoy it now, you know what it's like to have a foot jammed in your ribs at 3 am, lol.  This stage won't last much longer.

Answer 2

I was the same with my fourth and so was a friend of mine.

We decided it was because there were no stomach muscles there to feel the pushing from inside! LOL

Answer 3

The baby should be fine, sometimes you won't feel movement until week 24. Consult your physician if you are worried, but sometimes it is the placement of the baby that is to be considered, and the placement of the placenta. (It could be cushioning the movements).  Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I was in the same situation..i got so scared when ppl asked me - at 3 months pregnant - if baby is kicking. After 5 months I start feeling it.

Not all babies are the same :)

Check baby's heart beats for piece of mind :)

Answer 5

20 weeks is still small..it will happen soon though
