I am 19 years old 221lbs and I always had a large flabby stomach (why I dont know) I am now 24weeks pregnant with a boy but I barely feel him move and it's only maybe 2times a day my belly is still flabby at 24 weeks I have not gain any weight but in my face and some inches in my waist but my belly is not hard my mom is always asking is he moving yet. I am worried do you think its because my belly is flabby the reason why it is not hard and I cant feel him move much at 6months. please help

Maybe your placenta is in the front, Mine is and thats means you will not feel them as much.

Hi Nyrie and Oct,
I was told to that my placenta is on top where you don't feel baby move as much. Oct-is placenta in front the same thing as on top? I'm almost 24 weeks and now I'm starting to feel her more especially at night. Having cold water or a little sugar seems to wake her up when I'm resting at night. L

Maybe you have an anterior placenta. Thats what I had when I was pregnant and although I started feeling my daughter around 19 weeks it wasnt consistant, i barely felt her until I was further along - around 29-30 weeks. Ive heard some girls' babies wake them up at night from kicking so hard but I never felt mine that hard. Im also a bit heavier pre-pregnancy I was 214lbs and im 5'8...your baby is probably perfectly fine...ask your doctor about it at your next visit, I bet you have an anterior placenta

Planklg- I dont know if its the same thing? I was told that id feel the baby later on like 22 weeks becasue the placenta was in the front and when he kicks he be kicking the placenta,, She said id feel it more on my sides.. I have felt my 1st kick 2 days agao and again the day after but its not a constant thing.

I've heard that usually bigger women feel the baby later on. And I've also heard it's normal to not feel the baby until 24 weeks at the latest.
