I wouldn't worry too much either, I think with the second one you feel less kicks than with the first one... I know I did, maybe it had something to do with being busy running after a toddler, instead of being able to consentrate on the baby kicking?!!!

Oh, and I so know what you mean about forgetting about being pregnant!!! But again, dont worry as baby doesnt forget....!!

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy....]]> Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:38:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712811&title=not-feeling-movement#712811 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : Dont worry too much about movement...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712508&title=not-feeling-movement#712508 Author: SMoody

Dont worry too much about movement yet. At this stage it can be quite erratic.

With McKayla I felt her at 13 weeks and could feel her on and off now and then until week 21. That is only when Grant could feel her.

With this one I felt him quite a lot later but more regular than McKayla. His movements is so much more different from her.

With McKayla the placenta was sitting in the back.

With Andrew it is sitting in the front. ]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:07:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712508&title=not-feeling-movement#712508 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : Thanks ladies Will have to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712409&title=not-feeling-movement#712409 Author: mamanee

Thanks ladies

Will have to ask at my scan next friday where the placenta is sitting, cause I keep forgetting that I'm pregnant! No morning sickness anymore and my bump isn't all that big yet. I wish I could feel this good for the whole pregnancy, but I'm sure I'll feel like a stranded whale soon enough. ]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 19:42:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712409&title=not-feeling-movement#712409 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : I Didn&#039;t feel luke kick till...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712364&title=not-feeling-movement#712364 Author: LJsmum

I couldn't feel Gia's kicks til at least 20 weeks, there was nothing before then as placenta was posterior (sitting at the front).  It was frustrating cos I felt Rico from 17 weeks.  Jett was the same as placenta was at the front again.  I'm hoping the placenta is anterior this time so I can feel the kicks earlier on!]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:52:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712357&title=not-feeling-movement#712357 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : Placenta was anterior with Jake...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712294&title=not-feeling-movement#712294 Author: mummyofprinces

Placenta was anterior with Jake and I could only fee movements very low and very high on the left handside. I felt flutters from 18weeks and proper movements about 20weeks. Even at the 6 scans I had between 20weeks and 38 weeks I could see him moving but not feel it.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:22:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712294&title=not-feeling-movement#712294 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : i felt jack at 16wks but didn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712282&title=not-feeling-movement#712282 Author: jack_&_charli

I asked my MW about this the other day and apparently with a second baby it can take longer to feel movement as your uterus is "untoned" so movements aren't as noticeable as they were when your uterus wasn't pre stretched!

I felt kicks at 18 weeks with DS (posterior placenta) and some slight fluttering at 20 weeks with this one (anterior).

I got told at my 18 week scan where my placenta was.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:04:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712149&title=not-feeling-movement#712149 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : AmStaff wrote:Hey Renee My...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712147&title=not-feeling-movement#712147 Author: M2K

This is what happened with me, she was all over the show in my 12 week scan but I couldn't feel any movement, but once i started feeling her move, bout 20-something weeks, its ALL i can feel now, she has parties i swear! kicks and punches, pokes her bum out, and her feet and when I rub her little tiny foot, she kicks me hahaha]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:02:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712147&title=not-feeling-movement#712147 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : This baby&#039;s movements aren&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712114&title=not-feeling-movement#712114 Author: Bobbie

This baby's movements aren't as strong as Rowan's at the same stage (and she was anterior) so I can go for long periods without feeling it.

I have an anterior placenta & it took quite a while for me to feel any movement (around 22 wks from memory). I was a little concerned about the lack of movements mainly because I felt Liam much earlier & I guess I was expecting the same this time round.

I asked at the 20 week scan where my placenta was.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:53:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712071&title=not-feeling-movement#712071 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : With these two I felt the first...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712068&title=not-feeling-movement#712068 Author: minik8e

With these two I felt the first movements at 15-16w, but they were little flutters and I was far more aware of it. They never really became noticeable "kicks" until about 20w or so (and now they're godalmighty boots that move my entire stomach). I have a posterior placenta (it's at the back) so they said I would probably feel them earlier.

And I found out it was posterior at 9w, and it was confirmed at the NT (12w) scan.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:50:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712068&title=not-feeling-movement#712068 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : I didn&#039;t feel Jack moving...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712065&title=not-feeling-movement#712065 Author: myfullhouse

I didn't feel Jack moving until sometime after my 20wk scan, can't remember exactly when it was.
With this baby I felt the first movements at about 18wks. It was at my 20wk scan that I found out the placenta is at the front top of the uterus although as the pg has progressed I have felt quite a bit of movement. It wasn't until at about my 34wk mw appt that I was told to start counting 10 movements.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:43:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712065&title=not-feeling-movement#712065 <![CDATA[Not feeling movement : Hey Renee It&#039;s Anterior...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712062&title=not-feeling-movement#712062 Author: RinTinTin

Hey Renee

It's Anterior that you can't feel as much, or it takes longer to feel movement. I got told at my 13 week/NT scan that I have a posterior placenta so I would have thought they'd have told you then although every place seems to be so different.

My baby was throwing itself all over the blimin' place at my scan, so I know it's moving. I haven't even felt flutters or anything. The MW listened on the doppler the other day and said she could hear and feel kicks but I felt nothing, so must just be too early for me.

I know it's fairly normal for some women not to feel much movement from baby yet, but I can literally count on one hand how many times I've felt this one move.

I was feeling the fluttery tickles from Sam from about 15 weeks onwards and then increasingly stronger ones from 18 weeks +

Is it a posterior placenta that makes you feel less or is it anterior?   When do you find out where your placenta is lying?

Baby kicked before and I was like WTF was that?!?!   I wasn't expecting it at all.

Heard the heartbeat a few weeks ago and saw it jumping away at 12 weeks so definitely a baby in there. ]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:35:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27222&PID=712055&title=not-feeling-movement#712055
