Okay with Emma, my first, I felt her move at 17 weeks.... Then with Josiah, my second, I felt him move at 13wks 5 days.... Both times it was so definate that there was no doubt that it was the baby.
So now I am 14wk 2 days and haven't felt anything yet... I thought you always felt each one at the same time or earlier... I am sure I am just being paranoid because it is still really early... And this baby may just not be as active as my other ones were...
Please reassure me this is okay...

I think you're fine! This one is probably just not as gung-ho about moving and more peaceful (this could be a huge blessing later one! LOL)
And it could be just a little smaller or more petite than the others at this same stage because they each develop so differently! Take it the Lord in Prayer! If you're really unsettled, ask your OB if you can come in just to have a nurse let you hear the heartbeat again and reassure you that your little one is good!

I talked to a mom with 7 children and she said that her later babies didn't necessarily move as early as her earlier babies. All of them were different. I didn't feel my baby move until 19 weeks, 2 days. My midwife said, not to worry, the standard to feel them by is 20 weeks.
Maybe we both are going to have very peaceful and laid back kids!

Could be the positioning too !!!

...or it could be the position of the placenta (it can mask some of the movements particularly if it is at the front).

I was just thinking about it being the placenta!! Because I have been feeling what I am sure is kicks to the sides of abdomen... right by my pelvis...
It will be interesting to see where it is when I have the ultrasound in a few weeks...
