First time around I started feeling those fluttery movements at around 14-15 weeks and they slowly started turning into kicks from about 18 weeks. My first baby was really active in the womb and my placenta was at the back of him so I was able to feel all those kicks early.
My second pregnancy was a bit like yours and I honestly don't think I felt anything at all until 21-22 weeks! At my 20 week scan they said my placenta was anterior, so right out in front which meant although he was still moving around and kicking, I couldn't feel much. He wasn't as active as my first too and did more rolling and stretching movements rather than huge kicks I wouldn't worry too much. Your anatomy scan is coming up soon so you'll be able to see your baby moving all around and you can ask where your placenta is sitting too. Congrats on your third baby! |

This is my first baby, and I too had an anterior placenta and didnt feel anything until 21ish weeks, and even then it was only 2 kicks (tiny soft ones) a day for the first 2 or 3 weeks, gradually getting more and stronger...
Have you tried the lying on your left side and drinking iced water? See if you can feel anything then? If you are really worried, call your MW and pop in and get her to listen to hte HB with the doppler... Im sure its fine though  -------------
