From when can you feel the baby moving during pregnancy?

One of the most special moments during pregnancy for many mothers is feeling the movements of their baby. But when can you actually expect to feel your little one's first kicks and movements? In this blog post we will delve deeper into this topic and tell you from which week of pregnancy you can feel the baby moving.

From the 16th to 20th week

It is generally believed that women can first feel their baby's movements between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy. This is known as the moment of 'quickening'. For some women this moment may come sooner, while for others it may take a little longer before they can notice their baby's movements.

Factors that influence timing

The timing of when you feel the baby move can vary and is affected by several factors, including:

  • First pregnancy vs. Multiple pregnancies: With a first pregnancy it may take longer before you feel the baby move, while women who have been pregnant before may recognize the movements earlier.
  • Placenta location: The location of the placenta can dampen the baby's movements, making them harder to feel.
  • Mother's physique: Women with a slim build can feel the baby's movements earlier than women with a fuller build.

How does it feel?

The baby's movements may feel like butterflies in your stomach, soft pats, twists or even kicks. At first the movements may be subtle and difficult to distinguish from other physical sensations, but as the baby grows the movements become clearer and more powerful.

Conclusion

Feeling your baby's movements is a magical and comforting moment during pregnancy. Although it often happens between the 16th and 20th week, the timing can vary from woman to woman and from pregnancy to pregnancy. Be patient and enjoy the process as you get to know your baby in the safe embrace of your womb.
