I felt my son around 20 weeks. I was smaller, younger and slightly built. Because of my abdominal muscles it seemed to take a little longer. At first it kinda felt like someone was running there finger lightly cross my stomach. My second pregnancy I felt around 18 weeks even though I thought I felt little movements since 17 weeks. Now, this is my third pregnancy and I’ve felt baby move since 15-16 weeks. This is now my 18th week and the movements are more like “kicks” not butterflies are gas. I can actually feel it doing whole body movements. Movement depends on your weight, age, built and number of pregnancies. Again, this is my third and I’ve all ready had two c-sections so abdominal muscles don’t exist. Just be patient. I would suggest drinking a lot of “soda pop:(” or some real sweet juice like grape and lie flat on your back for as long as you need. Turn on the radio or a t.v. and just wait. It should work, may take awhile.( perhaps an hour ) Don’t get worried if you don’t feel any movement. A lot of woman don’t feel the baby move until week 22 or even later. Remember some woman don’t even know their pregnant until they deliver because they felt no fetal movement!! Good luck !

I’m 26 years old and just graduated in social services. I became a mother when I was barely 16 years old. Between the bad environment, depression, low- self esteem and simply just looking for some one to love me I became pregnant. It changed my life. I remember being embarrassed and came online to find some hope because I didn’t have any at home. I ended up meeting supportive people, a great church, self-esteem and some hope. I’ve been successfully raising my child, graduated college and found a fantastic job helping other young parents. To all those young Mother’s who are just trying to find some hope, a friend or some understanding don’t feel upset over hateful, uneducated peoples comments. You can do a great job. Unfortunately, not all girls have proper education, self- esteem and love to come home too. I hope you find just what you need. Good luck. For all those judging or (not “judging”).. say something nice and supportive or please keep your mouth shut. Its people like you- who keep girls with a world of potential -down.

I’m 19 and 18 weeks pregnant w my 2nd child, being a teenage mom is hard but is the most rewarding thing you will ever do in life. My daughter just turned one in march and is beginning to walk! Its very exciting to watch them grow. The first 9 months are the hardest, but I had her at 17. I finished high school and am a full time freshman in college. Birth control pills don’t always work lol.not to mention when we r in high school we tend to think it won’t happen to us. But there is nothing wrong with being a teen mother as long as u accept the responsibility and continue ur schooling to get a good job in the future for u and ur child to live off of.
I’ve felt baby move for about 3 weeks and have only gained 2 pounds but am showing and baby is normal so don’t fret too much about weight gain. W my daughter I gained 60 pounds where 40 of which were water weight due to my pre-eclampsia. Hopin that I won’t get that again when I know I most likely will. Enjoy being pregnant ladies and cherish every step of the way!
