hi there.. i was wondering how active a person you are in asnwer to your post as i noticed with my second and third pregnancys that as i awaited kicks around 15-18 weeks i didnt feel them very often if at all- this was due to the fact that i was working full time as a healthcare assistant and was constantly on the move. I finally got to feel an inkiling of movement around 21 weeks- which is sometimes the norm for first time babies but just put it down to the fact that because i was so busy in my job, i didnt feel anything really untill baby started to get a bit bigger!!.. what i think i would do is book in with your midwife or GP (they wont think any less of you if you want reassurance- and dont feel bad thinking your wasting their time- your not, you need peace of mind) and see if you can have a scan done- it may will be that baby is further in your back so-to-speak rather than lay on the front of your stomach - this does happen with pregnancies from time to time and may have an effect on how soon you get to feel those first time knocks and bumps.Hope this helps xxxxxxxxxx
