I am 17w4d and I havent felt even a lick of movement yet.  Is this odd?  I have been reading for the past 2-3 weeks that I should feel movement "anytime" and I havent at all.  First thing the nurse asked me on Wednesday was if I've felt anything and I said no, she was surprised and said "oh... well I'm sure you'll feel it soon."  I dont know...

Just to let you know it's perfectly normal not to have felt anything yet, some people luck out and feel the baby earlier, some as late as 22 weeks can't feel anything. Have they said anything about the position of the placenta. Sometimes the placement if it's in the front can cushion the soft kicks of the baby. Either way it's ok, my sister was nearly 18 weeks before she felt anything she could definitely say was baby and she's tiny!

Having said this I felt movement since 14 weeks but I lay on the couch all the time and have nothing better to do than just feel everything. It really allows you to get intune with your body when you have nothing better to do.

Ha... yeah I suppose thats true. Sometimes at night I'll lay there and try to make myself feel something but I always just end up feeling my own heartbeat and I get all disappointed. The other night I woke up in the middle of the night thinking for sure I felt something but I was so delusional @ 3am that I didnt realize what I felt was flutters in my heart, way up in the middle of my chest, not flutters in my lower belly... lol! ♥

Hehe! I know what you mean, but when you feel him/her you'll notice. I can sit here with my laptop and feel her rolling around in there. It's crazy!

I haven't felt anything yet either. I'm 16w4d. My doctor says I should be feeling "anytime" now too and I'm going crazy waiting...but I haven't been worrying too much because everyone seems to say that in your first pregnancy it's not uncommon to not feel anything until a little bit later.

I haven't felt anything yet either, and I'm 18 weeks. It worries me sometimes, but I've heard that it could take longer with the first pregnancy too, and there's been a heartbeat at every appointment I've been to, so that fact calms me down.

everyone feels movement at different times. With my first i felt around 15/16weeks and this one about 17weeks... now i'll be 19weeks tomorrow and I feel the lil booger all day long and you can even feel him/her on the outside sometimes, but again everyone progresses different.
