How early in pregnancy can you feel movement?

Question

I'm so excited for my baby's first movements! I keep wondering, how early in pregnancy can a woman usually start to feel the baby move or kick?

With my PCOS, I was always a bit anxious about everything going right. I didn't feel any clear flutters until week 21, which my doctor said was completely normal. Don't worry if you don't feel it early, especially if it's your first.

I felt those first tiny rolls around 20 weeks, and back then it was so cute. Now that my baby is out and keeping me awake all night, I look back and laugh at how much I wished for those kicks! Enjoy the quiet flutters while they last!

Haan na, starting mein toh bilkul soft butterfly flutters jaisa feel hota hai around 19-20 weeks. Don't expect strong kicks so early. Thoda patient raho, baad mein toh baby pure time khelta rahega andar.

Since I had an IVF pregnancy, I was anxiously waiting for every milestone. I started feeling very tiny, gentle flutters around 19 weeks. Please be patient with yourself, as every baby starts moving in their own sweet time.

Typically, first-time moms feel movements between 18 to 22 weeks, while second-time moms might feel them slightly earlier. If you don't feel anything by 22-24 weeks, a quick check with your gynac is the best way to ensure everything is fine.

I was so distracted by my heavy morning sickness that I barely noticed the first light flutters around 18 weeks! It felt like a tiny bubble popping inside. Once the nausea stopped, I could finally enjoy those sweet little kicks.

Haha, with twins, I felt like a whole football match was going on in my belly by week 17! Normally, you'll feel those first butterflies around 18 to 20 weeks, but with two, they start kicking each other early!
