ᴍᴀɴy Pʀᴇɢɴᴀɴᴛ mothers are anxious about when they will feel the first kick of their unborn child. Your unborn child starts to move about inside of you during the first trimester. Your ʙᴀʙʏ will begin to bend and sᴛᴀʀᴛʟᴇ around week eight. However, it’s likely that you won’t feel anything for a while. Remember that your infant is still extremely little at this point. You have to wait till he has a little more muscle before you can feel his kicks and nudges.

When will I feel the first movements?
Between weeks 18 and 20, the majority of women first feel their ʙᴀʙʏ move. You can get butterflies in your stomach during these initial movements. Depending on the position of the placenta, some mothers don’t feel anything until a little later in the pregnancy. Second-time mothers frequently experience movements earlier, in part because they are more familiar with the sensation.

The movements will change as your ʙᴀʙʏ gets bigger and stronger. The movements will increase in frequency and deliberateness with time. Like you, your kid will go through periods of rest and moments of activity. Nevertheless, as luck would have it, they rarely choose a time that is convenient for them. It’s possible that your ʙᴀʙʏ will begin their acrobatic routine right while you’re attempting to fall asleep.

The first hiccups in your kid may appear around week 24. Although it occasionally lasts for quite a while, this situation can be quite strange. You will now feel a series of punches and Ks as your ʙᴀʙʏ tries to be comfortable instead of somersaults as your uterus becomes more confined.

Record the Kɪᴄᴋs
Choose a period of the day when your ʙᴀʙʏ is often active to begin capturing the kicks. At around the same time each day, try to count the kicks. Since your ʙᴀʙʏ is likely to be at his or her most active 30 to 60 minutes after dinner, most women feel that this is the optimum time to do it. When you start keeping track of your ʙᴀʙʏ’s movements, start a new session.

Using our app, count your ʙᴀʙʏ’s movements by tapping the Kɪᴄᴋ button each time you feel one until they have occurred ten times. Any motions should be counted, including kicks, rolls, swishes, and flutters. Try to rouse your ʙᴀʙʏ if you can’t feel him or her moving by drinking some juice, indulging in soᴍᴇᴛʜing sweet, or going for a little stroll. Once your ʙᴀʙʏ wakes up, count again.

Call your doctor right away for more information if you detect a significant increase or decrease in movement compared to your ʙᴀʙʏ’s typical daily activity. Always get in touch with your healthcare practitioner if you are concerned. Never wait until your next checkup and never dismiss your worries as unimportant.
You could be asked to visit for monitoring by your doctor. They will listen for your unborn child’s heartbeat and may even suggest a scan to make sure everything is going OK. The infant is often healthy, happy, and only somewhat drowsy.
