babies movement

jackben

Hi all, just a query i have. I am 17.4 weeks pregnant, on my seconfmd pregnancy, and i still have not felt any movement,im just a little anxious because people have said i should feel my baby move sooner than in my first pregnancy.
In my first pregnancy i felt baby move bout 20 weeks.
Just a bit worried so wondering how soon have people felt movement in there second pregnancys....
Thanks all

I felt my first baby move at about 17 weeks but my 2nd not until almost 22 - my GP said that it can actually be longer on baby two because there's far more stretch in your muscles if that makes sense - you're not as "tight" as you are on your first.

I wouldn't be worried but maybe have a REALLY cold glass of water or a can of coke if you want to try and get him/her moving!

I know it's hard but try not to worry.

How Strange

I felt nothing on both my pregnancies until around week 20. By 24 weeks I was feeling strong kicks.
