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 27 weeks pregnant, and I was just as anxious as you when it got to be the 17th and 18th week and still I had felt nothing. If you read some of the articles on websites you'll learn that most of the movements you feel at those weeks is just flutters and the real kicks don't really begin until between the 20th and 22nd weeks. That's what kept me from worrying too much I guess, and when those weeks came around I definitely started feeling little kicks. Now, I don't feel much movement during the day, but when I get ready to lie down for bed, the little booger wants to throw kicks and punches all night. So be grateful for not having much movement yet, because it will start soon enough, and as exciting as it may seem, you will eventually want to get some shuteye. :)

I remember feeling exactly the same as you. You are worried, which is perfectly normal. And it doesn't stop when the baby is born either.
You may be feeling your baby move but just not know thats what it is. It took me 4 weeks of panic to realise that the weird sensations i was getting all the time were infact my baby moving.
Do you ever get weird feelings like kinda the same u get if u are hungry? Feels a bit like "butterflies".
All babies are different, if your baby is not very active now it will probably make up for it later!
Hope this eases your mind a little. Add me if u ever want a friend to chat to about anything ok x x
