1. That's very normal. If this is your first pregnancy you probably won't feel any movements until 18-22 weeks.
2. you cant feel a baby that early! Its only almost 2 inches big! have a look at this website for info that will help you... http://3dpregnancy.parentsconnect.com/calendar/10-weeks-pregnant.html
3. all i can feel is like stretching, you prob wont feel anythin just yet so dont worry x
4. no way possible you are gona feel the baby at 10weeks.
5. yea its normal, i didnt feel my baby until about 20 weeks
6. your not supposed to feel the baby move, if thats what your asking, you probably wont feel the baby move until about 16-20 weeks. good luch and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!
7. Yes this is normal especially if this is your first baby. Usually it around 4 or even 5 months before you feel the baby.
8. Very normal. You will not feel your baby until you are around 18 - 22 weeks, if its your first. They say that with second pregnancies you feel them earlier, as early as 15 weeks. Those stitches in your lower abdomin. is probably your skin stretching as your baby grows.
9. it's normal you wont be able to feel your baby until you are 16- 20 weeks depend on the pregnancy cause every pregnancy it's different well I'm 14 weeks i still don't feel nothing go to www.babyzone.com it will help
10. 100% normal, actually. I had my first ultrasound when I was 12 weeks pregnant, and it was amazing to watch the little peanut bounce around on the screen-- But NOT feel it move. I just started getting a bit of "fluttering" feelings yesterday and today, and I'm 15 weeks. If this is your first pregnancy, women usually won't feel too much until they're closer to 20 weeks or so. Don't worry, baby's fine =] Good luck!
11. this is my 2nd pregnancy, and i feel my baby. if this is ur first ur not goin to be feeling anything yet
12. I was 16 weeks pregnant before I first felt my baby move. It felt like a little butterfly in my stomach. The "stitches" are normal too, as your skin and uterus are growing and stretching.
13. I felt the baby for the first time at 16 weeks, but I have a small frame.
14. yea. that's normal. you usually don't feel the baby or anything until your about 3-4 even 5 months pregnant.
15. It is completely normal. I didnt feel my baby move until I was 16 weeks along, and even THEN I really had to pay attention to notice. I am now just starting to notice movements more and more, and can even see little movement on the outside of my belly... and I am over 20 weeks. Be patient, you'll feel your little peanut soon enough!
16. Totally normal. I am 10 weeks as well and can kind of feel that there is something present but I can't feel it moving and I can't press on my tummy and find it either. I've also noticed when I reach to get something high up from a cabinet I can feel a sort of tightness in my stomach. Other than that, nothing! I've read that we won't be able to feel it for about another month now so try not to worry about it and congrats!
17. Hi, congratulations! Fetal movement is first felt at around 17 weeks of pregnancy, so it's perfectly normal not to feel anything just yet. There is no need to worry. There are alot of websites where you can see how the baby is devoloping in a particular week. Stitches & discomfort are also normal as your uterus is expanding to accomodate your new little arrival.You hopefully will start to feel alot better as you go into the 2nd trimester of your pregnancy. If you are still worried, speak to your midwife or doctor. I wish you good luck! take care! xxx, F.Z
