Baby's movements

I'm 18 weeks pregnant now. The app shows by this week I should be able to feel baby's movements and kicks. But I don't feel any yet. I know each pregnancy differs. But when I search articles it is showing some experience baby's movements as early as week 16. But I am already at 18 wks 4 days. This is making me little worried. Should I consult my gynec sooner? #firstbaby please help

Not everyone will feel their baby's first kick especially if you're pregnant with your first. Your baby have been rolling, moving, kicking and what not inside of you but you can't feel it yet. There's really nothing to worry about. You'll feel it's kick soon when your pregnancy progresses. Your uterus has just started to stretch with your 1st pregnancy so it is very normal not to feel anything yet. You'll feel much earlier with your subsequent pregnancies. So hang in there. Relax. There's really nothing to worry about.
