Heyy I am a first time mom too and I don’t think because your plus size but I am 17 weeks too in I felt my baby kick at 15 weeks maybe your baby just not ready to kick yet because it’s still growing legs in other body part but I would ask too

With my first i was unsure of movements.. but my first for sure kick was at 20+3 and I was tiny af... I don't think size matters

Girl ion think size matters! This is my second baby I felt my first at 16 wks n currently 16wks with this one n haven’t felt a peep🤣

First time mom as well. I’m 17+5 and haven’t felt anything. My bf swears he has but I believe it strongly is dependent on where your placenta is at which you find out at your 20 week scan.

I have a retroverted uterus ,and tomorrow is my first appointment since finding out about this pregnancy

I was told it depends where the placenta is situated more than anything!

I had that problem with my First and in addition to having belly fat, I also had an anterior placenta. I barely ever felt him until later in the third trimester.

Around now you may feel a little flutters. Around 20 weeks you can feel significant kicks and others can feel from outside of your belly.

I am 17 weeks pregnant and I felt my baby fluttering since about 11 or 12 weeks. Even though my husband thinks it was just gas LOL I know my body. Feels like little butterflies. This is also baby number five.

I'm at 18 weeks with my first baby and havent felt anything. I wouldn't worry.

16 weeks for me, I definitely feel the nervousness especially when I haven’t felt anymore flutters for over a week again. When I went to the OB for my Doppler, and heard that 144bpm heartbeat, I got the relief again. I will just say it can be nerve wrecking but trust💯

Update my first appointment was today amd I am 11 weeks pregnant
I have my 20week scan on the NHS today - I’ve heard so many stories and now I have no idea what to expect! Any stories or reassurance would be greatly appreciated! 😂☺️

At 36 weeks and 3 days now and the stomach acid is real. Threw up for the first time in a while the other morning, straight after eating my breakfast and now most mornings when I wake up I feel sick for ages. And then when I eat it comes back. Anyone got any tips apart from gaviscon as already using that.
