Question

Vinita Rout · Answer

I am at 20 weeks and only feel tiny bubbles right now. Does it suddenly get stronger in the next month or is it gradual?

Sandhya Bajpai · Answer

You will start feeling strong, proper kicks around 24 to 28 weeks. Don't worry if it's just flutters right now, the baby is still very small.

Around the 6th month, the kicks become much more noticeable and strong. It is a beautiful feeling, just enjoy it.

Ishita Banerjee · Answer

The kicks get quite distinct after 24 weeks. You will slowly notice a pattern of when they sleep and when they kick, especially after you eat.

Usually, they get quite strong by the end of the second trimester. If you have an anterior placenta, it might take a bit longer to feel them clearly, so check with your doctor if you have doubts.

I miss those strong kicks so much now! Around 26-28 weeks, they get so strong that you can actually see your tummy moving from the outside.
