That is normal.
But you need to get to the doctor asap. You have missed out on very important tests that needed to be done. If you turn out to be RH- you need the Rhogam shot by week 28 or you could endanger any future pregnancy
You should have went to the doctor months ago

It all depends. They would need to do an ultrasound and measure the baby, but at 24 weeks it’s normal to hear a heartbeat and to feel the baby kick. Congrats on your pregnancy, good luck and God bless.

Please go get "What To Expect When You’re Expecting." It sounds like you are pretty clueless. You’ve already missed out on 5 months of prenatal care . . .they can’t give you a more specific time frame until they do an ultrasound.

I could feel the baby kick at 16 wks, and my husband felt her for the first time at around 22-23 wks.

I’m not sure about the home dopplers, but I think they say that you can hear it as early as 20 wks.

You sound normal to me - 24 wks is probably right on. Congrats!!

I started feeling mine kick around 16 weeks, and other people could feel it at about 20. I would say that you sound about rignt, but you should have an ultrasound done just to double check.

No this is about normal, it is position of the baby that makes these things easier.

Yes you could, but you really need to see a doctor because this is a critical time in the development stage, their at the full baby stage, but with undeveloped lungs and if you haven’t been taking prenatal vitamins than I urge you to start now. Congrats!
