Don't worry...around 18 weeks is average ( so a little before or a little after) When I was pregnant with my daughter---those first fetal movements feel only like gas or a little bubble busting in your belly; It will be awhile before you can actually feel MOVING
Try not to stress. Even after a mother can feel the baby regularly moving there are still times when the baby will be sleeping & not move for hours at a time. WHEN YOUR PREGNANT A COUPLE HOURS OF NO MOVEMENT FEELS LIKE A LIFETIME
I was such a worrier about my baby that I actually rented a fetal heartbeat monitor for $30 a months & would check the baby's heartbeat all day long. It really helped me from being worried. I know when your pregnant you can't help but think \"IS MY BABY OKAY?\". And that worry will always surround you child even after they're born too
I was told the you never stop worrying about your child. My daughter is 3 now ---and I still go into her room at least every hour at night ---just to make sure she is OK. And, BTW the fact that you worry about your child shows how much you care----and, how much of a wonderful mother you already are. GOOD LUCK & TRY TO LET NEGATIVE THOUGHTS GET THE BEST OF YOU.
Sincerely, KAY
