Every pregnancy is unique, just like every baby. Pregnancy is a joyful and thrilling experience for a woman. During pregnancy, she always thinks of her baby rather than herself. She gets excited and overjoyed whenever she feels the baby’s movement. You may be curious to know when you might feel your baby move during pregnancy. The most fundamental query, “When can you feel kicks,” has been addressed in this blog.
When do you first feel your child move?
Your unborn baby will begin to show movements as early as 10 -12 weeks of gestation. This can be seen on an ultrasound scan but the pregnant mother will not recognise it on her own. The first felt baby movement is called quickening which is felt as a flutter or butterfly sensation.
Baby movements in the first pregnancy
If you are a first-time mom, you will first start to feel your baby’s movements at around 20-24 weeks, whereas if you have been pregnant before, you can sense it early at around 16 weeks of gestation. The person carrying the baby will feel the kicks first, but partners (or any people you allow) may feel the baby kicking as early as 20 weeks.
How do baby movements feel?
Your baby’s first movements are usually soft and subtle but gradually get stronger. To start with, you will feel the movement low in your belly and as the baby grows bigger, you will feel your naughty one rolling around.
When does the baby kick and move more frequently?
Whenever the baby moves, pregnant mothers will be thrilled. There is no scheduled time that you will feel your baby’s movement. But your babies may become more lively when:
- During the night time when you prepared yourself to sleep
- After having a little glass of juice or a snack.
- When you’re anxious
- When your child has the hiccups.
To sum up
The movement of the baby and how the pregnant mother will feel about it will vary not only from person to person but also from pregnancy to pregnancy. Though it varies from person to person, experiencing your baby move and kick is a specific way to feel closer to them. Fetal movement (unborn baby’s movements) is an exciting and very real indication that your little life is developing inside of you. Therefore, enjoy your pregnancy period with your little one’s naughtiness.
