Here are answers and opinions from Wiki s contributors:
- If you want to know for sure if it's the baby moving, like the last person said you should take a warm bath (NOT hot) and also, try a juice box that has a little sugar. This tends to make babies more active, and may help you to feel the movement. And no, it's not irregular - many moms have been known to feel movement between 17-18 weeks. Also, if you're not a first time mom, you may be more tuned in and you may feel your baby move earlier.
first time Mums often don't feel the baby move until around 20 weeks, second time around you are more 'tuned in' and feel it earlier. However the baby has plenty of room to move and as you can only feel it if it touches the front of the uterus (just under the skin where the nerve endings are) you will not feel much especially if the placenta is at the front as well.

What does fetal movement feel like at 24 weeks?
Spotting in the second trimester needs to be evaluated by your doctor or clinic. The fact that you feel fetal movement is good. Call your doctor!.
When during fetal development so rhythmic breathing movement begin?
Late in the third trimester
What happens at the end of the second trimester?
At the end of the second trimester, typically around 27 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus undergoes significant growth and development, including the maturation of organs and systems. The mother may experience physical changes such as a growing belly and increased fetal movement. This marks the transition into the third trimester, where preparations for birth intensify. Additionally, prenatal care often includes screenings for gestational diabetes and assessments of fetal well-being.
When is the period of greatest fetal growth?
During the 4th month, the first month of the second trimester, the greatest amount of fetal growth occurs.
What is a Hysterotomy?
It is an incision into the uterus done during a cesarean section, open fetal surgery , and some second-trimester abortions
What are the major phases of antenatal development?
There major phases of antenatal development are commonly divided into three trimesters. The first trimester involves embryogenesis. The second and third trimester involves fetal development. The pregnancy is considered viable from the third trimester onwards.
During what trimester is toxoplasmosis most dangerous to the fetus?
The fetal infection rate is above 60% if maternal infection occurs during the third trimester, but the most severe fetal complications occur with first-trimester infection.
What will be fetal heart rate during third trimester?
During the third trimester of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate typically ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute. This rate may vary depending on the fetus's activity level, with rates often increasing during periods of movement and decreasing when the fetus is at rest. Regular monitoring of the fetal heart rate is important for assessing the health and well-being of the fetus during this stage.
What is phantom fetal movement?
Phantom fetal movement is perceived movement when there is no fetus in utero, or if the fetus has not actually moved.
When does Organogenesis develop in children?
Organogenesis occurs within the first trimester of fetal development.
Match each stage of pregnancy with its corresponding description A First trimester Marked by the growth and maturation of the fetus's organs and body systems B Second trimester All of the baby's?
1st trimester- all of the baby's body structures and systems develop 2nd trimester- marked by the grown and masturbation of the fetus's organs and body systems. 3rd trimester- the fetal systems continue to grow and mature also the time of the greatest weight gain
What is the problem of drinking alcohol in the second trimester?
Drinking alcohol during the second trimester can pose significant risks to fetal development, including potential effects on the baby's brain and growth. While the risks are often associated with drinking during the first trimester, exposure to alcohol at any stage of pregnancy can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), which can result in lifelong physical and cognitive impairments. Additionally, alcohol can affect placental function and increase the likelihood of complications such as preterm birth. Therefore, it is generally advised to abstain from alcohol throughout pregnancy.
