I came across this word quickening while reading and got curious. Is feeling those first baby flutters considered a sure sign or just a presumptive one? Bit of a doubt clearing question na.
Haan it is. Quickening is a presumptive sign because its something only u feel, it cant be proven by anyone else. The sure signs are heartbeat on scan and seeing the baby. Sounds like ur reading up nicely.
Yes dear, quickening is grouped under presumptive signs. Its the early flutter feeling of the baby moving. A confirmed sign would be the ultrasound or hearing the heartbeat.
Correct, its considered presumptive since its based on what the mother perceives rather than a clinical confirmation. If this is for studies or just curiosity, ur doctor can explain the full list nicely.
Yes, quickening which is feeling the first baby movements is counted as a presumptive sign of pregnancy. My doctor explained presumptive signs are the ones the mother feels, like nausea or movement, not the confirmed ones from a scan. So it falls in that group.
