Movements of the Fetus
Posted: 11-09-05 04:47am

I am in my first pregnancy and I am 20 week old. How do you know the movements of the baby. I mean how do we feel it like because I have no idea of it. I am desperately waiting to feel its movement.

Please reply

The first time I felt my baby move was like a bubble & gas. Others say it feels like a butterfly in their tummy. Do not worry if you haven't felt your baby move. Since this is your first, you can expect to feel it between 18 - 24 weeks gestation. It will be soon that your baby will start to let you feel and know that he/she is in there.

I am going on 21 weeks. Right now my movements feel like twitches in my tummy or someone doing it me from the inside. Remember that right now your uterus is only about level with your belly button, so any movement should be belly button and below.
