When do you feel flutters?

Pregnant women describe their baby’s movements as butterflies, nervous twitches, or a tumbling motion . At first, it may be hard to tell whether your baby has moved. Second- and third-time moms are more adept at distinguishing those first baby movements from gas, hunger pangs, and other internal motions.

A feeling of fluttering or twitching in your abdomen may be a sign your digestive tract is experiencing an allergic reaction to something you ate . It’s uncommon, but these feelings can be related to celiac disease, or an abnormal reaction to gluten.

Early in your pregnancy, you may just feel a few flutters every now and then . But as your baby grows — usually by the end of the second trimester — the kicks should grow stronger and more frequent. Studies show that by the third trimester, the baby moves about 30 times each hour.

Even if you have never conceived, you can still feel those unexplained baby kicks . The jury is still out on what causes this phenomenon. It could be the result of a little gas, intestinal rumbling, or even uterine irritation. It is not something to panic about and usually goes away on its own.
