A smaller percentage of parents will feel kicks earlier and later than that time frame. Babies begin moving from very early on in pregnancy, but when you actually feel those movements depends on different factors, like whether this is your first pregnancy, the position of your placenta, and your ability to recognize what you feel as baby's movement.
If you are 25 weeks and still do not feel movement, it's a good idea to talk to your care provider. It could be that you have an anterior placenta, which makes movement significantly more difficult to feel, or there could be another reason. So what do early baby kicks feel like? When I felt movement for the first time, it felt like little bubble pops or tiny muscle twitches in my lower abdomen. Others describe first baby kicks to feel like flutters, gas bubbles, tumbling, a light tickle, a painless "zapping" feeling, a light flicking, or a gentle thud or tap.
As baby grows, movements will become much more pronounced and you will feel them more frequently. Instead of tiny pops, you'll feel jabs, punches, rolls, and pokes. As for feeling movement on the outside, you'll likely have to wait until late in the second trimester or early to mid third trimester. When they can feel the movements, by putting a hand on your bump, is different for everyone. The movements can feel like a gentle swirling or fluttering. As your pregnancy progresses, you may feel kicks and jerky movements.
Do not wait until the next day — call immediately, even if it's the middle of the night. 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.
The important thing is to get to know your baby's usual movements from day to day. Do not use a home doppler heartbeat listening kit to try to check the baby's heartbeat yourself. This is not a reliable way to check your baby's health. Even if you hear a heartbeat, this does not mean your baby is well.
If your baby is not well, they will not be as active as usual. You may be able to feel a swooping sensation when they turn or roll in the womb. The timing and strength of the movements that you feel may be affected by the placement of the placenta. You may not feel movement until later during your pregnancy and when you do feel movement it may not be as strong. As your baby becomes larger, you may notice rhythms to their movement.
They may tend to be more active in the morning or evening depending on their sleep cycle. While some doctors suggest just a general awareness of changes to fetal movement, other providers suggest using a more formal counting method starting at about 28 weeks. One example of such a count is timing how long it takes to feel 10 kicks. Every pregnancy and baby is different.
The amount of kicks you feel and how they feel will differ not only from person to person, but from pregnancy to pregnancy. You may have one baby you rarely felt moving and another who loved to constantly push the boundaries of the womb literally! For many people, the third trimester of pregnancy can be an anxious time. A birth plan is a document that lets labor and delivery staff know some of the specifics you want followed during the birth of your baby.
