15 weeks and not really any movement..??

[musicmomma]

So I'm just worried that I haven't really had any movement so far. This is my 3rd baby. I have no bump really. All my ultrasounds have been great so far. But I'm just concerned that I should be feeling more consistent movements. I'm not 100% certain I've felt any. I thought I had but I'm just not sure.

15 weeks is too early to be looking for predictable patterns of movements. The baby is still so small that it has a lot to do with their size and location, as well as the location of your placenta, as to whether you feel anything at all.

With my first, I THINK I started feeling movement around 13 weeks, but it was the "was that gas, or could it be...?" variety. By 15-16 weeks I was pretty sure it was the baby, but days would go by where I didn't feel anything at all. Of course I worried too, but my doctor said it was normal at that stage.

I am currently at the "maybe" stage with this pregnancy as well. I'm mostly wishing I could feel it more consistently for reassurance, but also trying to enjoy the quiet while it lasts. She may turn out to be an incessant night gymnast like her older brother.

I wouldn't worry. Your baby is definitely moving around at 15 weeks, but you won't necessarily feel it, even being your 3rd.
Maybe you have an anterior placenta?
I just started feeling consistent movements at 20 weeks, yet I felt waves of movement every few days since 12-13weeks.

I am 15+5 and I haven't felt a thing. Last weekend at 15+1 I did a private scan. The baby was kicking, punching, twirling, stretching, doing all kinds of stuff on the computer screen and I didn't feel a thing, not a bubble popping feeling, not a rolling feeling, nothing at all. Even the really hard kicks were totally imperceptible. I am shocked because by 16 weeks, I was feeling movement with both DD and DS. This time it's different, perhaps my body has just changed since I was last pregnant or my uterus has a little less sensation after 2 C-sections. Not sure haha. But I do think it's totally normal not to feel anything just yet. I bought a Doppler to check on girly, that helps quite a bit.

Last time I didn't feel any movement till around 17 weeks and nothing consistent until nearer 20 weeks, this time has been earlier but I just think that every pregnancy is different

Thanks ladies, I think I'm just being impatient. I guess having your 3rd baby doesn't necessarily mean early movement!

I'm in the same boat. It's really surprising tho, right? I would assume the first movements would happen earlier with every pregnancy but I suppose a lot of it depends on where baby implanted, where the placenta is, how thick the placenta is, etc., and those things can vary greatly between pregnancies apparently!

I know how you feel! It's my 3rd aswell and I felt my first at 16 weeks and 2nd at 14. I'm only just 14 weeks now, but I've been 'trying to feel it' haha but I haven't felt anything yet.

It's still reallllly early for movement! I didn't feel my first until around 20 weeks... nothing yet with #1 and I'm at 15w as well. Listened with a doppler today, and could hear baby moving as I listened to hb.
