Hi ladies,
Just a bit of a silly post because I know I've no reason to feel the way I do but I'm currently somewhere between 19-20 weeks with baby number 3, which we learned at 17 weeks is a little girl, and I've not felt her move yet. I know it's silly to feel disheartened because first movements usually occur between 16-24 weeks so I've still got plenty of time but I felt my other two way earlier and not feeling little lady move has me a little disheartened and worried.
I felt my eldest at 17 weeks and my second at 18 weeks, so I assumed I'd be feeling her wriggling by now. I definitely wanted to feel her moving before my 20 week scan (which is this Friday) for a little reassurance that she was ok. The closer I get to my scan date, the more worried I feel about not feeling her move. She was wriggling around heaps at my gender scan at 17 weeks but I can't help but feel worried for her.
Anyone else feel their little ones move considerably later than their siblings? Or still waiting to feel baby? I'm trying to stay optimistic but my brain keeps going to "what if something is wrong?"
