Plus Size & Pregnant

Hey! Wanting some experiences, I am 28 and I am pregnant first ever pregnancy. And I am a dress size 28/30 this wasn’t planned but very happy! I’m 23 weeks and still feel no movement at all but I do carry all my weight in my stomach and legs. If you’re plus size when did you feel the baby move? I’m worried I’ll never feel him move?

Plus size here too! Size 22/24. With my first pregnancy I was around 22/23 weeks & this time been feeling him from around 18 weeks. I think they say it can be normal not feel anything up to 24 weeks & if nothing by then let the midwife know xx

Also, do you know what your placenta position is? That also can affect movement feeling x

Plus size here too! Size 24. This was my fear as well but the little one started to kick at week 22. It’ll happen for you, don’t worry! Look out for feelings like butterflies in your stomach or gentle taps. If nothing after 24 weeks then speak to your midwife x

I’m 24 weeks, and I’m usually a size 20/22 and I started feeling mine from the early side of 20 weeks, but very faint movements and it was difficult to tell unless I was laying still. I can definitely feel her moving around a lot more now but a lot of her little kicks are in my pelvic region so she must be feet down😅 my midwife said that it’s normal for plus size women to feel it a bit later, but you’ll definitely feel him soon! If you are concerned though, I would call your midwife x

I’m plus size too 24/26 I just hit 24 weeks and I worried about the same things too by the I hit 22 weeks I felt butterflies now that I’m 24 week you can definitely feel baby kick more but lower down if you don’t feel anything from 24 weeks please speak to ur Midwife x
