When does the baby start kicking during pregnancy?

Question

I'm in my first pregnancy and I'm really excited to feel my baby move. When do babies usually start kicking, and what does it feel like?

Haan, starting me toh pata hi nahi chalta, lagta hai pet me gas ho rahi hai! But 20 weeks tak properly kick feel hone lagti hai, thoda patience rakho na.

Actually, most first-time moms feel the first kicks between 18 to 22 weeks.

Haha, wait for the butterfly flutters first around 18-20 weeks! Soon your bladder will become their favorite football, so enjoy the quiet peace while you still can.

Listen, don't compare with others. Some feel it by 18 weeks, some take till 24 weeks, especially if the placenta is anterior. Just stay calm, it will happen when it has to.

I felt those gentle flutters around the 21st week, and it was the most beautiful feeling, even though my C-section recovery later was a bit tough. Give it some time, your baby will start kicking very soon!
