When do baby's movements begin to feel in the gut - Davidliam/Edu-Technic GitHub Wiki
The baby moves in the gut since it is barely an embryo, however, it is so small that we still cannot notice it. But when exactly do the baby's movements begin to show within you?
It is impossible to specify the exact day when you will begin to feel the movements of your baby in the gut, it depends on each woman and each pregnancy and also depends on whether it is your first pregnancy or not.
In the first gestation, the baby's movements usually begin to be felt between week 18 and week 20. Even if you pay special attention during the previous weeks you will notice a kind of bubbling or "butterflies" inside the uterus. They are the preliminaries before feeling the first movements.
In any case, between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy, the long-awaited first kick is finally felt, which although we call it a kick, may well be a movement of the arms or legs, punches, or twists.
If it is not your first pregnancy, the baby's movements generally begin to be noticed around two weeks before, that is, between week 16 and week 18. This is possible because the uterine walls and abdominal walls have less muscle tone. But it may be perfectly normal to start feeling them later. It depends on the body of each woman.
There will be more favorable times of the day to start feeling the baby, for example when you are lying in bed at the end of the day or after eating some sweet food since the glucose supply stimulates the baby's movements.
The truth is that noticing that the baby is moving inside you is a wonderful and reassuring thing since the baby's movements are a sign of fetal well-being. Those who have ever felt it can assure that it is a full and incomparable experience and the beginning of a very special communication between the mother and her child.
Your baby's movements during pregnancy
At some point in your pregnancy, you will feel your baby move. For example, your baby may kick, hiccup, spin, roll, or tip over. These movements are common and expected. As your baby grows, these movements become stronger.
But sometimes, you might feel a movement that surprises you. You might wonder what it means. Most pregnant women don't have any serious problems. But it is a good idea to know about the different types of movements and when to call your doctor or please visit our website for baby movement tips: Yamo.
Flaps, butterflies or bubbles
Sometime between the 18th and 22nd weeks of pregnancy, you will begin to feel your baby move. At first, these little movements feel like fluttering or "butterflies." Some women say they feel like air bubbles. These first flutters are the first perceived fetal movements.
Hiccup
By week 24, you may notice some sudden movements within the abdomen. You might even see them from the outside. These repeated jerky movements often mean your baby has hiccups.
The hiccups are perfectly normal. It can last from a minute to an hour. You may feel like your baby is hiccuping for the rest of the pregnancy.
Kicks, flips, and turns
After weeks 18-20, you will feel your baby move. And you may notice that your baby moves more at certain times of the day. For example, when you are active, you may feel less movement than when you are resting quietly. Believe it or not, the activity and noise of daylight hours are calming for babies. So they often sleep during the day and are awake at night.
As your pregnancy continues, you may feel some changes in your baby's movement. From weeks 22 to 26, you may feel like your baby is starting to kick. And you may notice your baby spinning and tipping less and instead squirming and shaking more. At about 28 weeks, you may feel like your baby is moving from a head-down to a foot-down position or even lying flat.
From about 30 to 32 weeks, you should feel your baby move several times a day. Your baby now spins less and kicks and hits more. He or she sleeps 20 to 45 minutes at a time and moves more at certain times of the day.
By week 40, your baby is quite grown. He or she does not have much room to move. You probably notice fewer "big" movements than before.
When to call the doctor
Call your doctor immediately or seek medical attention immediately if you notice that your baby has stopped moving or is moving much less than normal.
