17 weeks is still quite early to feel baby movement. Some people can only feel bubbles popping at this stage, which is baby movement too! It will get stronger and obvious as weeks go. Don’t worry!

I can only feel baby movement at 26 weeks because my placenta is anterior (on the wall that is right beneath my skin) so it’s “cushioning” baby’s kick

17 weeks still very very early. Will only feel like gas bubbles around 20 weeks or so. As baby is still very small and alot of tissue as “barrier”

I felt bubbles popping around 17 weeks :) Don’t worry! Mine was roughly around 22 weeks to be able to feel movements.

Yes it’s still early. The very first movement I felt was around 18.5 weeks

very normal. I only felt my baby's movements at 22 weeks, 1st pregnancy

Don't worry! I felt the same as u, didn't feel anything till 20weeks!

Normal, I felt mine at 20 weeks even 22 weeks for some people

Normal, 17 weeks is still early. I felt mine at 19 weeks.

felt my baby kicking after 21weeks
