Hi Gals,

Don' t worry abt the movements, it' s different from person to person. You may feel sooner or later than others in your own group. Even at 18 weeks a lot of girls don' t feel the baby movement, so don' t be depressed. For my first baby I felt arnd 20 weeks only, which were strong ones. but his time I could sense it more early. Here' s what I what read from a website which will help you guys,

Baby movements:
You probably won' t feel your baby kick until sometime between 16 and 22 weeks, even though he started moving at 7 or 8 weeks and you may have already witnessed his acrobatics if you' ve had an ultrasound.

Veteran moms tend to notice those first subtle kicks — also known as \" quickening\" — earlier than first-time moms. (A woman who' s been pregnant before can more easily distinguish her baby' s kick from other belly rumblings, such as gas.)

Your build may also have something to do with when you' ll be able to tell a left jab from a hunger pang. Thinner women tend to feel movement earlier and more often than women who carry more weight.

What does it feel like?
Women have described the sensation as being like popcorn popping, a goldfish swimming around, or butterflies fluttering. You' ll probably chalk up those first gentle taps or swishes in your belly to gas or hunger pains, but once you start feeling them more regularly, you' ll recognize the difference. You' re more likely to feel these early movements when you' re sitting or lying quietly.

How often should I feel movements?
At first the kicks you notice will be few and far between. In fact, you may feel several movements one day and then none the next. Although your baby is moving and kicking regularly, many of his jerks and jolts aren' t yet strong enough for you to feel. But later in the second trimester, those reassuring kicks will become stronger and more regular.

If you' re tempted to compare notes with other pregnant women, don' t worry if your experience differs from that of your friends. Every baby has his own pattern of activity, and there' s no correct one. As long as your baby' s usual activity level doesn' t change too much, chances are he' s doing just fine.

So gals, don' t worry and stress over this matter. you will definelty get to have those kicks and moves soon! Good luck and take care!

Love,
KR

Not to worry
If you want a normal delivery, ask your doc first to try vaginal delivery if not then go for forceps delivery where baby can taken out with the help of tongs...
