All I can say is that I agree with Michelle. If you are concerned, talk with your OB about it. That is what they are there for. Take some deep breaths, call your OB to make an appointment, and then take some more deep breaths and know that you will soon find out if there is a problem or not. Good luck to you.

Have you been getting regular prenatal checkups? I would address your concerns with your OB. They may order a non-stress test or ultra sound to help ease your worries. But seeing as though you are 18 weeks you should be due for your ultrasound soon. When I couldn't feel my children my OB used to tell me to drink a glass of orange juice and lay on my left side for an hour or so....you could try that and see if you feel something. That and just possible they may have your dates wrong and you might not be as far along as you think. I would def let your DR know, and don't take thats normal for an answer if you are really worried about it. Because knowing that everything is ok will reduce stress for you and the lil one.
