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.

Is it possible to feel fetal movement in your back?

Fetal movement is typically felt in the abdomen, as the baby moves and shifts within the uterus. However, some pregnant individuals may perceive movements in the back due to the position of the baby or pressure against the spine. While it's not common to feel distinct fetal movements in the back, sensations such as pressure or discomfort could be related to the baby's position or other factors. If there are concerns about fetal movement, it's best to consult a healthcare provider.


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.

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.

This my second pregnancy and i am 16weeks but i felt the baby before but now i haven't felt the baby move in almost two days is that normal?

It's not uncommon for fetal movements to vary during pregnancy, especially in the early stages. At 16 weeks, some women may still experience irregular patterns of movement, and it's possible that the baby is positioned in a way that makes movements less noticeable. However, if you're concerned about the lack of movement, it's always best to consult your healthcare provider for reassurance and to ensure everything is progressing normally.
