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?

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.

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 ?

mustang0529 · Dec 30, 2010, 07:52 PM

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.

mustang0529 · Dec 30, 2010, 07:56 PM

Finally that's the answer I wanted to hear

J_9 · Dec 30, 2010, 08:02 PM

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?

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.

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.

mustang0529 · Dec 30, 2010, 10:03 PM

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

mustang0529 · Dec 30, 2010, 10:13 PM

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.
