Is this normal?

I am 17w3d. I am worried and of course getting on google non stop. I do not feel anything! I have not felt any flutters, I cannot say I really have a bump (just looks like I have gained weight and it went to my belly LOL)No other symptoms except the hair on my legs is barely growing anymore.
But that's it! I don't want to call the MD and have them think I am panicker! But being seen only every 4 weeks is nerve wrecking

It's definitely normal. I felt that way for a while. Although I had some early movement there was only a small amount of movement and I often went days without feeling anything. If it's your first then bump may take a bit longer to pop, this is my second and my bump came a lot sooner this time. Try not to worry. When is your next midwife appointment?

Totally normal! Especially if it's your first. A lot will depend on where your placenta is sitting as well. I'd be more concerned if you passed week 20/21 without feeling even a little flutter, but you should have another appointment by then!

Also... never be afraid to call your MD and ask questions. They would MUCH rather it be a silly, easy question than for you to not ask and it end up being a problem that could have been dealt with immediately.

Google is not your friend when you're concerned, by the way.

Thanks gals! It is my first! My next appointment is at 20 weeks ( July 7). They will do a full ultrasound then

yep, normal- I didn't even feel like there was a baby in my tummy until after 20 weeks when I first felt movement. Until then I felt absolutely nothing!
