Still No Flutters at 18Wks!!
I'm really concerned as I haven't felt so much as a flutter & I'm in my 18Th week!!
I've been reading over & over on the net, people saying they felt it at 15 weeks, it feels like bubbles/flutters! However, I've not felt a thing. My bump is getting bigger & I only get the odd ache now & then (obviously due to things stretching) so I'm hoping all is Okay in there.

I think I was about 20 weeks when I felt movement with my first, but earlier with my second only because I was able to recognise it as baby moving.
If you are really worried though, set your mind at rest by giving your midwife a quick call. She will be able to reassure you better.

It's really freaky when you get to the stage where you can actually see baby moving, as your bump pulsates. It is reassuring though, feeling those movements everyday. Mine moves constantly throughout the day and night and seems to be more active soon after I've eaten.
Good luck with your 20 week scan, you'll be amazed by how much your baby has grown since your 12 week scan.
