I'm in my second trimester and eagerly waiting to feel my baby move. Around what week of pregnancy do mothers usually start feeling the baby kicking? I can't wait for that special feeling!

For me, it started around the 20th week. Stay positive, eat a sweet snack or drink cold water if you want to see if the baby moves a bit!

Haha, usually around 20 weeks they start practicing football in there! At first, it just feels like gas bubbles, so don't confuse the two!

First-time moms usually feel it between 18 to 22 weeks, as the doctor explained to me. If you have an anterior placenta, it might take a little longer to feel the movements clearly.

I have heard from my sister that it usually starts around the 5th month. It must be such an amazing and emotional feeling to experience that.

I felt those tiny butterfly flutters around the 19th week, and soon they turned into proper kicks! It's the most beautiful feeling, just wait, you will feel it very soon.
