Hi everyone haven't been on this site in a while... anyways I am currently 15 weeks 4 days pregnant... and I have been feeling what I think is the baby moving I no its early but I can tell the difference between gas and movements... I just wanted to no if I'm OK for my weight or over weight.. not too sure... prepregnancy my weight was 145 and I'm 5"5 now my weight is 153 154... I heard if your average weight or small build you can feel the baby earlier...

Unlikely that you're feeling movement at 15 weeks, but if it makes you happy to think that you are, than go with it.

You'll most likely feel movement closer to 20 weeks.

You've been pregnant many times before. What happened in those pregnancies? Did you feel movement early then too?

My first pregnancy was a miscarriage but my other 2 I felt 16 and then 18 weeks

my first pregnancy was a miscarriage but my other 2 i felt 16 and then 18 weeks

Well then you know what's normal for you during your pregnancies. :)

I just want to add that you've asked this question before, so you should know the answer.

Around post #175.

It's still 20 weeks, just like it was back then.

It still doesn't answer my question about my weight and height...

it still doesnt answer my question about my weight and height....

Actually, it does.

It doesn't matter how much you weigh. Most women don't feel movement until 20 weeks gestation.

That was discussed thoroughly on that thread. You just didn't want to hear it.

Then why is on every other site I've been too people say they have felt there baby move around 15 16 weeks depending on the body weight and if they have had other pregnancy.. can you explain that or is everyone nutz like me ?

I've talked to people

If you weigh about 90-100 pounds you may feel movements earlier. However, I always tell my patients not to "expect" to feel anything until approximately 20 weeks.

If you feel movement earlier, that's great. Just don't panic if you don't feel movements on a daily basis this early in pregnancy.

Finally that's the answer I wanted to hear

Mustang... You realize that not every answer is going to be the one you WANT to hear.

As a registered nurse in obstetrics, I can pretty much promise you that what you are feeling is called peristalses, not fetal movements at 15 weeks gestation. That baby is only about 4 inches long at this point making it hard to feel movements.

Then y do others say it is possible?

then y do others say it is possible ??

There are many factors that go into it. Not only weight, but number of times being pregnant all the way through delivery.

A woman who has been pregnant once will feel fetal movements beyond 20 weeks. A woman who has been pregnant past 30 weeks, past is the operative word, may feel movement as early as 16-18 weeks.

then y is on every other site ive been too ppl say they have felt there baby move around 15 16 weeks depending on the body weight and if they have had other pregnancy..can u explain that or is everyone nutz like me ?

I have to ask. If you've gotten confirmation from other people, why are you asking again?

Why not just sit back, relax, enjoy the pregnancy and stop obsessing about every little thing?

I've been pregnant 3 times. I have 2 kids. One pregnancy resulted in miscarriage. Never have I felt movement before the 20 week mark, and I'm not a large woman.

If you think you feel movement at 15 weeks, than fine. Relax. Enjoy the feeling. But why continue asking the same question over and over and over and over? It makes no sense.

I agree. I've been pregnant 5 times with 4 children. I think the earliest I felt movement was 18 weeks and that was with my youngest child.

Mustang, you've been a member of this site since 2007. All of your questions are about your numerous pregnancies. Every topic that could be discussed about pregnancy has been discussed on your threads.

What parts are you having problems with? What are you having difficulty understanding?

I'm going to say something I've felt for a long time with regards to you. You seem to be obsessed with being pregnant.

Have you looked into counseling?

Out of the 4 (that I counted based on your threads here) pregnancies that you've had, how many children do you have?

If you've experienced a pregnancy to term, than this isn't anything new.

At 15 weeks, don't expect to feel movement. If you think the gas bubble from the big mac you ate is movement, than fine, go with it. Enjoy it. But why the constant questions?

It's getting old.

It got old a long time ago.

Just my opinion.

Wow I asked a question... sorry if I feel excited... I don't need a ***** answering my questions and calling me obsessed... u have got to be the rudest person I have ever met and for you to tlk to anyone even a pregnant women at that... makes yourself imature

I understand and sorry for the name calling but would you think its rite for someone to tell you your obsessed with being pregnant and that you need counseling... im sorry that I asked to many questions but its rude for someone to talk to someone like that I'm only asking questions because I'm curiouse I have had misscarriages in the past sorry for being excited didn't think it was a law...

i understand and sorry for the name calling but would u think its rite for someone to tell u ur obssessed with being pregnant and that u need councelling ....im sorry that i asked to many questions but its rude for someone to talk to someone like that im only asking questions because im curiouse i have had misscarriages in the past sorry for being excited didnt think it was a law....

No one criticized you for being excited. And we welcome questions. This is a question and answer site. What is frustrating is one someone keeps asking the same question over and over expecting a different answer just because they didn't like the first answer. If you have more questions, ask away. But we're all volunteers here, don't waste anyone's time asking the same thing over and over and then getting upset because you don't like the answer-was nothing wrong with.

And having miscarriages can be traumatic. Counseling wouldn't be a bad idea. Stress isn't good in general, especially not when you're pregnant and have another life to look out for. At the very least, you might pick up some better stress and anger management strategies. And you're obviously pretty emotional right now-not that anyone could blame you, it's pretty normal. But we all have to learn to cope with things.

I'm not stressed nor do I need counceling thank you... I used to love this site... but now I don't people are very rude... ya its ver traumatic to lose a child but I dealt with it... I don't have anger management problems and I don't need someone who doesn't no me telling me I have a problem sorry if kept asking maybe I was looking for someone else's input either then the person who insulted me by saying I need counceling and that I'm obsessed... im actually happy and excited during this time in my life and to have people put me down like that I won't except it... I didn't realize this site is filled with rude people looking out for rude people... again I appologize on my behalf but I don't apreciate it by being insalted

Again, please read the rules of the site. TEXT SPEAK IS NOT ALLOWED. It makes your posts incredibly difficult to read.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. I don't see any reason for you to be so angry and upset with anyone on this site through this thread. You were the one ranting- if that's not stress and/or anger to you, OK. Great. Asking the same question over and over again won't change the answers. If someone is going to chime in, they'll chime in whether you ask once or a million times. If all you want to do is sit here and insult and name call the people who try to help you then maybe you're right, maybe this isn't the site for you. We pride ourselves on giving the best advice we can- and sometimes that means being really honest and there aren't a whole lot of regular members here who will sugar coat things for you.

Again I said sorry.. about the name calling and on my behalf... techniclly I didn't repeat my question 21 times... sorry if I didn't read my question from 2 years ago... I forgot I wrote that... so for someone to be rude... ur not the best help on this site

Here's the issue I have, and why I posted what I did, which was by the way my opinion, not factually incorrect, and not worthy of a reddie according to the rules of this site.


my first pregnancy was a miscarriage but my other 2 I felt 16 and then 18 weeks

So you've had 1 miscarriage, 4 pregnancies. In other words, you have had one miscarriage, gave birth to 2 kids (actually three, because in one thread you said you were having twins https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/womens-health/checking-size-uterus-pelvic-exam-244109.html) and you're pregnant with your fourth, but you have no idea what happens during pregnancy?


I'm only asking questions because I'm curiouse I have had misscarriages in the past

Miscarriages? You said that only your first pregnancy resulted in miscarriage.

You have 254 posts on this site since 2007. They're all pregnancy related posts. Your questions. You've asked the same things over and over again, but, when you don't want to hear the answer, you get rude. You've done it before in other threads.

You just want to hear what you want to hear. You don't care about facts, because you've been told the facts but you continue to argue about them.

Here's a sad fact. Even though you only have 254 posts in 3 years, and you're not an active member of this site, I do remember you. I don't even have to look at your past posts because I remember most of them. It's not because your posts were wonderful because they weren't. In fact, for 3 years now you've been told to stop the chat speak but you haven't. It's because you post about every little thing in each of your pregnancies. Also because even when you're told what's going on, you argue about it. You don't want advice, you want someone to tell you what you want to hear.

You may not want to admit it, but I do see a problem here. Your first post in 2007, what I assume was your first pregnancy, you were 17. You should be around 20 now and just from counting a portion of your threads (not all of them) you've had 4 pregnancies. Those are the ones you've told us about. Do you not see why I would come to the conclusion that you're obsessed with being pregnant? That and the fact that you post about every little thing, repeat questions, argue if you aren't told what you want to hear. Well, yes, personally, I think counseling would be a good idea for you.

In the end, I can voice my opinion based on what you've told us, and you can either take it to heart or ignore it. That's your decision.

Pregnant or not, I will tell you what I see. I will tell you the truth. Being pregnant doesn't mean you get treated differently than anyone else coming here for advice, especially since you're always pregnant when you're on the site looking for answers.
