I am 22 weeks pregnant and I haven't seen a doctor yet, but I can feel my baby move. Is this a sign of a healthy baby?

It might be but it doesn't mean for sure that it is.

You NEED to see a doctor.

Why at 22 weeks have you not had prenatal care?

I haven't seen a doctor because I don't have any insurance. I applied for it but it hasn't come through yet and I have been working on it every day.

We can't tell if your baby is healthy just by movement. There are so many other things that could be wrong that only blood tests, urine analysis, and/or ultrasound could detect, just to name a few.

It is imperative you seek prenatal care as soon as possible.

Go to a free clinic. Planned parenthood. The county hospital.

Go to the welfare office and get on state insurance.

You need to get to the doctor.
No matter HOW you do it.

Thanks to every one who answered the question that was asked. I also would like to say that I have tried to do other things but no luck and I don't understand why. There is good news I found someone who can see me and I don't have to go through a lot a stuff for them to see me. Thanks again to all of the helpful comments.

I'm very glad you found someone to see you. Unfortunately fetal movement is not the only indicator of good health. Blood tests reveal many things including pregnancy induced diabetes, for one.

Yes I do know that I was just woundering so I asked and thanks again :)
