18 weeks, still no movement

It seems to be the done thing to say at this stage "have you felt the baby move yet", but it is driving me mad as I have the question at least once per day, and the answer is still "no".

Should I be worried?

Hi, like Tazmania, me too, didn't feel a thing, not even a flutter until 22 weeks. My placenta at the front which they say can buffer your movements.

I would say it was at least 22 weeks before I really felt anything I could say for sure was baby.... I'm now 40 weeks (no signs of an appearance yet) and believe me at this stage you feel EVERYTHING! Wait until your little one gets hiccups!!!

Thank you ladies, really makes me feel better. I wouldn't stress about it if it were not for people asking me all the time.. I don't know why its the first thing people say once you're past 12 weeks!!
