Baby movement at 19 weeks

Hi mums to be, I just hit my 19 weeks mark today and I still have yet to feel any kicks or baby movements even when I place my hands on my belly and lower part of belly no movements can be felt internally or from the hand placement… I’m a first time mum, is this normal? Also I start to feel my body getting heaty and that my heart rate seems to be faster than usual… is this normal? I’ll be going for my gender scan next week, and it’s been a month since I saw the scan of baby… do I need to worry?

Hi there! It's completely normal to not feel any kicks at 19w, some women feel it as early as 16w (like me), and others as late as 25w. So don't worry about it too much! I hope this will ease your mind until your upcoming scan :) Yes, it is also normal for your BPM/heart rate to increase as your body is pumping more blood to your body and baby. Just remember to take deep breaths and take things slowly. I hope this reassures you! Good luck, mama!
