in Baby Health During Pregnancy by anonymous
I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and I am unable to feel any movement from my baby. Is this a normal occurrence or should I be concerned?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

It is common for women to start feeling their baby's movements between 18-25 weeks of pregnancy. However, every pregnancy is different, and some women may not feel their baby move until later on. If you are concerned about the lack of movement, it is always best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can perform an ultrasound or listen for the baby's heartbeat to ensure everything is progressing as it should. In some cases, factors such as the position of the placenta or the mother's body shape may affect how easily movements are felt. Remember that if you have any concerns during your pregnancy, it is important to reach out to your healthcare provider for guidance and reassurance.

For my first pregnant I barely felt any movement and he was a healthy baby boy. For my two girls they were aggressive kickers who I definitely  felt. If you are worried about your baby I definitely reccomend getting a doppler so you can hear the heartbeat and movements.

From what I've read, that's fairly normal, especially for first time pregnancies. As long as the doctor says your babe is fine, and the ultrasounds look good, I wouldn't stress about this at all
