How do you know if you feel flutters?

Because each mom is different, you may feel this movement earlier (this is common if this is not your first baby) or in some cases even later. So, even if you don’t feel any movement at 18 weeks pregnant, there is no need to worry .

There’s no set number of movements you should feel each day – every baby is different. You do not need to count the number of kicks or movements you feel each day.

You should feel the baby move at least two different times during a day , on a daily basis. The baby may move many more times than that. During one of these episodes of movement, you should feel the baby move at least ten times in an hour.

Flutters may be the best way to describe it. The first stirrings of your baby’s movement is traditionally called ‘quickening. ‘ It’s described by some women as feeling like butterflies in the stomach or like gentle tickling . Others compared the feeling to a little bit of gas or twitching muscles.

The first movements are often inconsistent and may come and go . At 28 weeks, a doctor will typically talk to the woman about counting kicks. By this point in the pregnancy, the movements are usually becoming more consistent.20 Şub 2019

This is because there’s a lot of amniotic fluid around baby right now, so you feeling their teeny-tiny wriggles may be a little sporadic. But as baby grows, they’ll be moving more regularly ‒ beyond 26 weeks, you’ll likely start to feel quickening and movement every day .
