If youâre going to get radioactive iodine for a test or as a treatment (either a tracer or a therapy dose), sticking to a low-iodine diet will help. Youâll need to follow a low-iodine diet for about 2 weeks before. your treatment or test.
Generally, women don't start feeling a baby move before 16 weeks, the average is somewhere around 18-22 weeks.I felt my first baby move around 19 weeks. I thought I felt my second move at 12 weeks but didn't feel anything reliable until 16-17 weeks.
Even though fetal movements begin at about 7 to 8 weeksâ gestation, it isnât until between 16 and 20 weeks into pregnancy that moms start feeling the baby twist, stretch, and kick (Hijazi & East 2009). Starting around 25 weeks, babies make movements to expand their lungs, practicing for life outside the womb.
