Fetal Movement

It is nothing to worry about until you have movement on a regular basis and should keep track. If you notice a lack of movement, you should contact your doctor soon (don't panic this doesn't mean you are having a miscarriage, just room for concern and you doctor may want to induce you early to protect the health of you and your baby).

Yes, but it isn't the baby you feel. A baby doesn't move this early.

a baby will be either a boy or a girl long before it becomes a fetus. A woman's egg carries an X chromosome (women are XX). However, since men are XY, a single sperm cell will carry either an X or Y chromosome. Depending on which sperm cell enters into the egg will result in either the a boy baby or a girl baby.

No. At five weeks your baby has just developed a heart beat. 4 months is about the earliest you will probably feel in fetal movement. Here is what your baby looks like at five weeks:

Your baby can indeed feel and react to you touching your belly. The sense of touch begins to develop in babies during the first trimester; however, since the fetus is so small at this point, he or she may not be in contact with the side of your womb enough to register the pressure of your hand. As the baby grows and takes up more space, therefore having greater contact with the sides of the womb, he or she will be able to feel your touch much more consistently.

If you tap your belly when your baby is active in the womb, you'll often get a response from the baby to the touch. You can try responding in kind to the baby - when he or she kicks, tap in the same place - or initiating your own pattern of tapping in different places on your belly.

With the first baby, the movements are usually feltbetween the 18th and 20th week of pregnancy (although the baby actually begins to move from as early as the 9th week). In subsequent pregnancies, movements are usually felt between the 16th and 18th week.

The doctors and internet reports state that you are supposed to feel the baby move, kick, turn or flutter at least 10 times every hour. Don't be alarmed if you don't think they move that often, a lot of times you are moving around and the movement of the baby goes unnoticed. I am now 31 weeks prego and freak out sometimes because i try and count kicks all day long. If you are ever in doubt drink some juice, lay still on your left side and in no time you should feel your baby move. if you do not within 2 hrs contact your doctor for more advise.

oh yes you definitely can. at this point the babys movement should become more tense

Its not likely; You probably won't feel your baby kick until around week 16 and 22, even though the baby has been moving since week 7 or 8. You may have already witnessed these movements during an ultrasound. This is often felt as a fluttering feeling or a grasshopper walking across your belly during the first movements.

At around 16weeks -first pregnancy - i got the feeling i could feel a heartbeat in my stomach, this is more likely to have been baby moving then there heartbeat. Now at 20weeks im getting stronger prods which feel like in going down a dip when driving or in a elevator. It sometimes feels like hes boxing my organs, but lightly still. I cant see from the outside yet i have only gained 7lbs so far and was a slim build before.

Some babies are more active than others. If your baby is moving within the "standard", then I wouldn't worry or try to make her move any more. Sometimes you won't feel her moving when you are busy doing things even if she is, so if you want to feel her move for your peace of mind, then eat a light snack such as a piece of fruit or milk, then lay on your left side and rest until you feel her moving. If you do this within several hours and still don't feel her move, contact your doctor. He/She may want to perform a non-stress test to put your mind at ease. Take care. You can gently press on your tummy in different spots to make the baby move. It isn't something that needs to be done, but it won't hurt the baby. If it hurts you, then it's too hard. And sometimes just relaxing with your feet up will make the baby move around. if you put headphones on your belly with some classical music, (which helps with brain development) or any other kind of music, it helps...

I am 28 weeks pregnant and my ob tech as well as the sonographer, both say this is impossiable because at four weeks your baby has not developed enough weight to be felt. Most women are just becoming aware of there pregnancy at this point.

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!.

Yes it is very common. I am currently 28 wks 2 days and I have been feeling my lil man's hands way down there for over a month. Sometimes it feels as though they will stick their tiny fingers right outside of you they are so low. It is all ok.

Many women experience "morning sickness" during the first trimester of their pregnancy and other women don't. However, women sometimes don't experience morning sickness until they are 6 weeks pregnant. If you do experience morning sickness you should have some relief by 14 weeks. Some women have a greater chance of having morning sickness - migraine sufferers, history of motion sickness, pregnant with multiples and if your family members experienced morning sickness. Consider yourself lucky if you are feeling well and don't worry about it!

You won't be able to feel the baby move until 16 - 22 weeks even though the baby starts to move around week 7. You will be able to see the baby move when you get an ultrasound. The baby's movement feels like butterflies in your stomach and will get stronger as your pregnancy progresses.

No, you cannot feel any movement at seven weeks. Your uterus hasn't even reached above your pelvic bone. Depending on your build, you can feel movement at 16 weeks. If you have been pregnant before, you can feel it as early as 12 weeks. What you are experiencing is probably gas or your BM moving in your intestines, or just bloated.

It should be, if you are concerned talk to your OB/GYN. You probably won't feel your baby kick until around week 16 and 22, even though the baby has been moving since week 7 or 8. You may have already witnessed these movements during an ultrasound. This is often felt as a fluttering feeling or a grasshopper walking across your belly during the first movements.

Yes, it is possible to feel the baby kicking or hitting your cervix. This is more likely as the pregnancy progresses, since the baby is bigger and stronger later in the pregnancy. You will almost certainly feel the baby making contact with the cervix once the baby has started to engage (starts to enter the pelvis in preparation for birth); when a baby is fully engaged, his or her head will press directly on the cervix.

Some mothers will find the baby making contact with the cervix more uncomfortable than others, and for a few it may be somewhat painful. For most women, the sensation is simply unusual.

HI I AM 31 YEARS AND I HAVE THREE KIDS AND I NOW AM PREGERS AGAIN AND I HONESTLY CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE EXCEPT FOR THE REAL HARD KICKS THAT TAKE YOUR BREATH.

SO NOW I AM 21 WEEKS AND 3 DAYS AND I FEEL THROBS FROM TIME TO TIME AND SOMETIMES I FEEL WAVES OF NUMBNESS GO THROUGH MY BELLY LIKE IT STARTS UNDER THE BOTTOM PART OF MY RIBCAGE ON ONE SIDE AND GO IN A WAVE FORMATION UNDER MY BELLY BUTTON AND ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF MY STOMACH RIGHT ABOVE MY PUBIC BONE IAT DOSE NOT LAST LONG AND IT DON'T HAPPEN EVERYDAY BUT I SURE DO FEEL IT . HAS ANYBODY ELSE FELT ANYTHONG LIKE THIS HERE? IF SO PLEASE RESPOND BECAUSE I HOPE IT IS BABY MOVING !!!!

You may start to feel the baby kick around the 16 week, or it may be later so don't worry if you don't. at first all you will feel is a fluttering in the bottom of your stomach that will soon be more harsh. you may feel the baby move more when lying down and relaxing. Around four or four and a half months. It will feel like a little tapping as though someone is flicking you with their thumb.

Then over a couple of weeks it will turn into kicking. Every pregnancy is different, however most will feel 'quickening' somewhere between 18-24 weeks. An old belief about pregnancy: When the mother can feel the child kicking inside is when the child became a 'person'.

The first sensations of the baby moving can feel like bubbles moving around inside. I'll never forget the first time I felt my oldest child move. By the end of the pregnancy the baby will slow down in movement...not a lot space left to move freely. Whats really funny is when the baby turns...you can actually watch your stomach change shape! I had fetal movement early, I'm 18 weeks pregnant I don't really notice it until I'm still or quiet.

Most first-time Mums feel movement at around 20 weeks, maybe a bit earlier if they are very slim.

Second time around you may feel movements about 16 weeks, because you know the feeling.

Feeling fetal movement can be felt very early, but this mainly occurs in woman that are in their 2nd pregnancy or more. This happens because a woman who is not in her 1st pregnancy will know what it's ment to feel like so will notice it more. I personaly felt my 1st movement at around 10-11 wks, but that were my 3rd pregnancy, so I knew what I were experiencing. Dont compare one pregnancy to another as each one is different, an as you have more children you will know what to expect. No two pregnancies are ever the same though

Between 16 to 22 weeks but can be as early as 12 weeks or as late as 26 weeks my dr told me with my first child.

In first pregnancy, maybe around 17-18 weeks or later, in later pregnancies around 15 weeks or later.

You start feeling the baby move before you feel him or her kick. At around 16-20 weeks, people generally feel their baby move, although it depends on things such as how fat or thin someone is and whether or not it is their first pregnancy.People have described the first movement they felt as popping or fluttering. Some say it is a bit like gas.

It's normally around 16-20 weeks for most people. It depends how thin you are and whether it's your first pregnancy as well.

You might notice a flutter of movement at four months but it really starts moving a lot at five months.

I was 5 weeks pregnant and felt movement had just had a period the week before, and felt like hmm maybe, soo I went in and sure enough I was a little over a month pregnant. I am now feeling the same feeling and could not be more than a month, and this will be my third pregnancy, and I feel as if this little ball in me has something turning cartwheels in it, it is awesome.

14 weeks about three and a half months.
