It is different for every woman, because pregnancy is different for every woman. Normally, fetal movement is felt earlier in a second or more pregnancy than in a first. Fetal movement is also likely to be felt earlier in thinner people than fatter people and in people have multiples. In a first pregnancy, fetal movement is normally first felt at around 17-20 weeks of pregnancy. In a second time or more pregnancy it is normally felt at around 15-20 weeks. It is not necessarily because it can be felt earlier, but more because the woman knows exactly what she's looking for because of her previous experiences.

How early can you feel the fetal movement with twins?

I am 20 years old and pregnant with twins. This is my first pregnancy and I started to feel some fetal movement at 17w. It wasn't strong or very frequent, but it was definitely there. It felt like butterflies in my lower abdomen. I'm not 22w pregnant, and they kick me all over!


What does it mean when baby moves a lot at 33 weeks?

Its highly unlikely that you can feel fetal movements at ten weeks, the fetus is active, but does not weigh enough and is not strong enough to be felt. Chances are, what you are perceiving as fetal movements are more likely gas bubbles.

Why would there be no fetal movement at 18 weeks 4 days?

When you say "no fetal movement" do you mean that you have just been unable to feel the baby move as of yet? Or have you had altrasounds that show that the baby does not move? For my first pregnancy I did not feel he baby move till 20 weeks. And the pregnancies after that I was able to feel a bit earlier, but not much. I would say if you are getting good heart tones and the altrasound shows well, not to worry, likely soon you will be asking to not be able to feel it for a while. If you have felt it a lot, and than for days are not feeling it, that is a certain reason for a trip to the doc to check for the babies heart. But if you have not felt it at all yet, try to be at peace, and trust your little one is on Gods hands.


Where do you feel movements when your 19 weeks pregnant?

I am four months pregnant with my second child, and I feel fetal movement in my abdomen a little to the left of my navel. Once you are farther along with your pregnancy, you should be able to feel movement pretty much anywhere in your stomach area.


Can baby be felt after six weeks of pregnancy?

You.can..... But of is your first pregnancy you may not recognize it as the baby moving....movement is most noticeable after 3 months


How can you feel your baby move at six weeks?

Actually at six weeks pregnant you cannot feel any movements at all by my knowledge. You may think it's the baby but it may be gas or other things going on with you. Fetal movements can be felt at 20 weeks or more i believe. Google it but i am sure you can't feel movements that soon.


How early can you feel fetal movement if its twins?

I am trying to figure this out as well. I swear I felt fluttering and a very little bit of density on the left side of my belly at 13 weeks. (The right was a bit squishy) And I feel that this was my two babies waking me up at night. Then last night at 14.5 weeks I woke up at 3am with a start because it felt like my two little lovies swam all the way to the top of my abdomen trying to get into my rib cage. This was a little painful... I put my hand on it and the I felt a slight push and I assumed it was my heart beat (it was that light f a push) , but then there wasn't another... and the last time I checked I had more than one heartbeat. This is what convinced me that it was my babies. At that point I got pretty uncomfortable and got up and walked around hoping gravity would help them swim down. In my head at least, I know it was them... already terriorizing their poor mother. I hope no one says it was gas, because I swear I wasn't gassy at all... and after about 10 minutes, the pain subsided. So, I am convinced I felt movement and possibly a kung fu kick already. Yet, I can't find anyone saying that they felt fetal movement this early in the pregnancy. So... if someone knows what they are talking about, it would be sweet if they answered.
