You can typically start to feel your baby move between 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. For first-time mothers, movements might not be felt until after 20 weeks, sometimes closer to 24 weeks. Women who have been pregnant before may feel movements earlier, sometimes as early as 13 to 16 weeks

. Early movements often feel like gentle fluttering, bubbles popping, or light tapping. As the pregnancy progresses, these movements become stronger and more distinct, turning into kicks, jabs, and rolls

. If you have not felt any movement by 24 weeks, it is advisable to contact your midwife or healthcare provider to check on your baby's well-being

. In summary:

• First-time mothers: usually feel movement between 18-24 weeks
• Experienced mothers: may feel movement as early as 13-16 weeks
• Movements start as fluttering and become stronger over time
• Contact healthcare provider if no movement by 24 weeks or if movement decreases significantly
