Worries.

[Pandaroo]

Hey. I'm 16 weeks gone and i'm having all sorts of worries about if the baby is okay, and if anythings wrong with it, I just wanted to know if anyone else felt like it? And when I should be able to feel it kick, seen as im not even really showing that much. Please and thanks. x

i know how you f3eel because i was the exact same with my 2 pregnancies. Like you i didnt really start showing till around 5-6 months so i always worried about the health of my babies, and until i had my 16- 20 week scan to show if everything wa sok i couldnt relax. As far as i can remember i didnt feel any kicking till 20 weeks or so.

Every prospective mother has anxieties about their unborn child. I'm still worrying something might be wrong with mine. (I'm due to give birth next Saturday)

I didn't feel any definite movements until around 21 weeks, I would say 16 weeks is too soon and it's also dependent on your build. They do say thinner women feel movement earlier than those with larger frames.

Have you had your 12/13 week Nuchal Scan and blood tests yet?

Oh, Good Luck Velvetee:-)

Most have the same worries & nightmares, quite normal. So long as you're ok so will the babe be.

Hi Pandaroo - I'm also 16+ wks (this is my second child) and I know exactly how you feel. Had my 16 wk MW appt this wk and apparently they now don't listen for baby's heartbeat at this appointment (where I live) - was so disappointed as I'd been relying on this to put my worries at rest. The thing for us both to do is try to be positive and calm - and look forward to our 20wk scan! Mine is 30th June - do you know when yours is yet? Take care xx

Hi Pandaroo - oops I was signed in as my husband! (Jollygreen) Anyway - take care x

Hi Pandaroo. I felt exactly the same as you. I didn't feel anything until I was about 19wks. But to put my mind at rest I bought myself a doppler so that I could listen to the heartbeat whenever I wanted.
