Typically, first-time mothers notice the first movements, also called quickening, between 18 and 24 weeks. Since every pregnancy and placenta position is unique, there's no fixed date. If you have concerns about fetal movement, always consult your gynecologist.
Oh, that first kick is the most magical feeling in the world, I totally understand how eagerly you are waiting! In a first pregnancy, it usually happens around 18 to 22 weeks. It starts like gentle butterflies or bubbles in your tummy.
I didn't feel anything until week 21 and got super worried, but the nurse at my hospital explained that first-time moms feel it a bit late. If you have an anterior placenta, it can take even longer, so do ask your doctor during your scan.
I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with my first baby and still haven't felt any clear kicks, just some weird rumbling. Did you guys feel it suddenly one day, or did it start gradually?
Haha, I thought it was just gas for the first few weeks! Around week 20, I realized those little pops were actually my baby kicking. Enjoy this gentle phase, because later they will turn your ribs into a football field!
