You typically start to feel your baby move, known as "quickening," between about 16 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. If it's your first pregnancy, you may not feel the movements until closer to 20 or even 25 weeks, while those who have been pregnant before might feel movements as early as 13 to 16 weeks. Early movements feel like fluttering or gentle twitches, often described as butterflies or nervous twitches. By the third trimester (around 28 weeks), the movements become stronger and more frequent, with distinct kicks, jabs, and rolls. Factors influencing when you feel movement include whether it's your first pregnancy, the baby's position, and placental placement. Movements are usually felt low in the belly near the pubic bone early on, and later more broadly as the uterus expands. If no movement is felt by 24 weeks, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider. Throughout pregnancy, consistent fetal movement is an indicator of well-being.
