Just because you are underweight doesn't mean you have a smaller uterus!
Just to let you know, I am also underweight, and my doctor said nothing about me being smaller if you know what I mean.
Why are you so conserened, you will feel it when you feel it.

Because when your underweight... your body only grows so much... and like me I haven't been gaining that much weight... so the baby is just getting bigger inside me.. but there is less room to grow.. then if I were to be average size or bigger!

mustang0529 · Jan 22, 2008, 06:25 PM

That still isn't what I mean!!

Women who are overweight most definitely have a harder time feeling baby. And women who are underweight can feel it early. The AVERAGE is 20 weeks. That is the key word here.

If you don't feel a big kick before 20 weeks, don't freak out.

I'm smaller then the average weight the baby only has certain amount of room in my belly compare to a lot of others!! Now does that help

mustang0529 · Jan 22, 2008, 06:28 PM

I no when your usually suppose to start kicking my question wasn't that./.. it was that I do feel movement and I have been feeling it for almost 2 weeks now... I asked how long from that point does it usually take for the baby to start kicking.. I no it usually is around 20 weeks.. but if you feel the movement and you are skinny starting is there a good chance that it can start kicking soon... that was my question...

mjl · Jan 22, 2008, 06:29 PM

Wow... that's all I've got to say.

mustang0529 · Jan 22, 2008, 06:33 PM

OK well that's rude I was just asking a question... I need people to answer it.. if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all!!

J_9 · Jan 22, 2008, 07:16 PM

Hun, you are already feeling the baby kicking, it's just right now it feels like a flutter more than a kick. Every day, every week will bring on new feelings, and those feelings will be stronger week by week. But every woman is different. I was small once too. With my first I felt fultterings throughout the pregnancy and with each pregnancy the flutters turned into kicks, then into full out belts in the tummy.

Again, the baby is already "kicking" It's not kicking in the sense that it is using it's feet to kick you, but that it is stretching, moving, etc.

People have been answering you. It is you who has been rude to those of us who are trying to help you. Just chilax and listen to those of us who have been there, some of us more than once or twice.

Listen I'm sorry if you didn't understand what I was trying to say but it seems like you do from what you had to say no I was not being rude I asked a question you I no usually around the time when the baby starts to kick but I didn't ask that question that's what I have been trying to say!!

This also here.. was rude mainly because... doesn't everyone get excited and want to feel there baby's move inside of them what I'm not the only one why are you making it seem that way..

We weren't being rude, J_9 answered your question here:

It is all individual. You will know when you feel that baby kick.

Being underweight does not mean you will feel it sooner, it just means that you were underweight.

and I answered your question by saying: "around 20 weeks (give or take)"

We are the ones that answered your question, you are the one that dragged it on.

Just trying to help here, but maybe the answers haven't been clear enough for you.
Your size does not have much of an effect on when your baby kicks and if how you feel it. Your baby is growing inside your uterus. Your uterus may be smaller, it may not be. Some overweight people have a small uterus... your height and weight don't really matter. As the baby grows your uterus and other areas will grow to accommodate it.

The answer may not be what you want to here, but every woman is unique inside and out... so we can't give you an exact answer.

I didn't say J_9 was being rude I got my answer from J_9.. I was talking about u... that wasn't my question for the 5th time!! I'm not here to argue OK.. all I did was ask a question.. if your going to come on here and say I was being rude then please don't try and answer my questions... there are a lot of other people who will answer it and not try to prove me wrong!!

melissa1 · Jan 23, 2008, 02:21 PM

You feel the baby move and kick around 18-20weeks
I am nearly 17weeks and have been feeling baby move since week 14 this is my 2nd pregnancy, I am overweight so it doesn't really make any difference whether your underweight or over weight it happens when it happens

First of all, when did I call you rude?
And where did I try to prove you wrong? The only way I could prove you wrong is if you already knew the answer to your question and I'm telling you otherwise. All I did is answer your question.
