When do you feel movement in pregnancy?

I'm pregnant and everyone keeps asking if I've felt the baby move yet. I'm not sure what to expect. When do most pregnant women start feeling their baby's movements?

It can be really anxiety-inducing if you don't feel it when others say they did! I started feeling subtle movements around 20 weeks with my first, not super clear at first. Don't worry if it takes a bit, everyone's body is different. Just talk to your doctor if you're concerned.

Oh, I just went through this! For me, with my first pregnancy, I started feeling proper movements around 21 weeks. Before that, it was just very faint. So it's totally normal for it to take a bit longer than you might expect.

Such a sacred experience, feeling your baby move. For many, it starts subtly as 'flutters' around 18-20 weeks. If you sit in a calm space, perhaps after a gentle yoga session, you might become more attuned to these delicate first sensations. Breathe deeply and connect.

I was constantly checking and worrying! But usually, you start feeling something between 18 to 25 weeks, first like little flutters or gas. If you're really worried or it's much later, it's always best to call your doctor. They can reassure you.

Haan, usually 18 se 25 weeks ke beech first time moms ko feel hota hai, like little bubbles. Na ghabrana if it takes time, har body alag hoti hai. Meri wife ko toh 22 weeks mein feel hona shuru hua tha proper.
