You are 5 weeks prgnant and you can feel your baby moving is that normal?

Answer 1

You absolutely cannot feel the baby move at 5 weeks. It is the size of a grain of rice. However, it is forming all the vital organs so take folic acid and vitamins and eat right - your hormones are beginning to go through some major changes due to your pregnancy and hormones can cause all kinds of feelings, both physical and emotional. Bloating, grumpiness, weepiness, fatigue, etc. However, you will not be able to feel the baby move until you are into your second trimester, or at about 20-25 weeks. The movement felt at 20 weeks is very subtle - like a butterfly in your belly -some women cannot feel movement until the third trimester when most can actually SEE movement - an elbow or foot pushes out and you can see and feel it from the outside - generally, the leaner you are, the sooner you will feel movement because excess weight can sometimes cushion things a bit. Further, if the placenta is in front, that may impede your ability to feel movement as well.

Answer 2

Yes, 15 weeks is about the earliest time you would be able to feel the baby's movement; experienced mothers who have had previous pregnancies usually realize what it is sooner than first-time mothers, since they know what it feels like. Many women describe it as "flutters" or "butterfly wings" - to me, it just feels like gas bubbles! For about five weeks (starting at week 15) I thought I was feeling the baby move but there was no way to be absolutely sure; I'm now 20 weeks pregnant and at this point the movements are strong and distinct enough to know for sure.

Answer 3

No. At four weeks you are just finding out you are pregnant. The fetus will not even have a heart beat till week 5. You may begin to feel movement around 12-16 weeks though.
