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.
So when should I start to feel my baby move? The first time you feel movement in your stomach varies from baby to baby. âMost women start to feel their baby kick between 18 to 20 weeks. If it's your second or third baby, this may be earlier - around 15 weeks,â says midwife Nikki Khan. âOther women are past the 20-week mark before they feel anything, and thatâs normal, too.â.
