But donât worry if you hit that milestone and donât feel anything in your abdomen. âAs an ob-gyn, I thought I would feel my own baby moving long before 20 weeks, but I didnât feel anything until 22 weeks,â she adds. If youâve been pregnant before, or you live in a ââquiet or rural place,â you may feel kicks as early as 17 to 18 weeks, Dr. Artal says. Additionally, if your placenta attaches in the front of your uterus instead of in the back, it may make it harder to feel movements, particularly early on.
Most mothers-to-be eagerly await that first reassuring flutter, just to know their baby is growing and developing. Sometime between 18-25 weeks into pregnancy, moms will begin to feel movement. For first time moms, it may occur closer to 25 weeks, and for second or third time moms, it may occur closer to 18 weeks. Donât panic if youâre not sure what youâre feeling.
