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...

I'm 19 weeks currently, and this is my second baby- however, I didn't really start feeling movement until about 4-5 days ago. I think it's normal. With my first baby I felt movement at 16 weeks.

I think I felt it around 18 weeks with my first pregnancy, if I remember correctly. I have been feeling it earlier this time, but I think it's because I know more what to look for. I probably felt it earlier with my first as well, just didn't know that's what I was feeling.

Also, don't get in too big a hurry to feel it, LOL. Trust me, there will be nights you'll be wishing that you couldn't feel a thing so you could just SLEEP IN PEACE. It's amazing to feel, don't get me wrong, but nighttime was the most distracting (though special, when I was in a good mood, lol). I didn't mind so much during the day, but I'd be woken up at 3 AM by kicking from my 25th week on. I wasn't in such a hurry to feel it this time around. ;)

this is my second pregnancy - I am almost 16 weeks, and overweight. No movement yet. With my first, I didn't feel anything until nearly 22 weeks.

Huh, I'm surprised the nurse was surprised. I started feeling movement just before 17 weeks, and everyone was surprised I felt it so early!

I wouldn't worry as long as they're getting a heartbeat at your doctors appointments. That said however I am going insane with waiting myself. I am almost twenty weeks and can't feel a thing, or if I have I've written it off as something else like my imagination.
