I am starting to worry as I have not felt my baby move. All my scan was fine and heartbeat was heard at 16 weeks but I read with second babies you normally feel movement sooner?

No I was 20 weeks when i felt my second move properly, sometimes early on you can feel when they get the hiccups and its like a twitching sensation. I wouldn't worry yourself, good luck :)

my first i was 20-21 weeks, my second i.was 13 weeks this one it was around 16-17 weeks so it does vary plus can make a difference where baby is lay.

Hi I worried about this as my daughter didn't start moving until after 26 weeks. I had extra check ups to check her heart beat and she was always happy :-)

I am only pregnant with my first and have just started feeling movements now at 21 weeks. I was speaking to my NCT yoga teacher yesterday about it and she said that where your placenta is can make a lot of difference. if it's in front of the baby you may well not be able to feel the kicks. Could be that? x
