    I would say its normal. Consistent movement shouldn't be expected until 28 weeks.

    Sometimes first time mothers feel the baby but don't recognize it. Other times, the placenta may be in the front so you won't feel movement even if there is some.

    Have you had your 2nd trimester ultrasound yet?

    It's normal I didn't start feeling the baby move much till 23 weeks. Now that I am 24 weeks I can feel the baby move a lot more.

    its different for everyone. The doctor gave me a chart in the first pregnancy at twenty weeks and said when you start feeling movement daily then record and keep track.
    felt baby:
    first pregnancy=22 weeks
    second=18 weeks
    its different for every woman eevery pregnancy
