My morning sickness was so bad till week 16 that I barely noticed anything else. But around week 20, I felt those sweet flutters which made all the vomiting worth it.

Just keep a positive mind and pray. God willing, you will feel those beautiful first kicks very soon, usually around the 5th month.

My mother told me to look out for tiny flutters around 20 weeks. In my first pregnancy, it took till week 22 to feel a proper kick, so don't worry.

Right now in my 3rd trimester, this baby is playing football inside me all night! But in the beginning, it was just gentle bubbles around week 19-20.

I am looking forward to experiencing this beautiful feeling one day. From what I have read, most mothers start feeling it around the 5th month.

Don't worry if you haven't felt it yet. Most moms start noticing gentle movements around 20 weeks, it will happen soon.

Usually, first-time moms feel it between 18 to 22 weeks. If you have an anterior placenta, it might take even longer, so just relax.
