When should I start to feel fetal movement?

By seven weeks, your little embryo is already squirming about. But at this point it's so small you can't possibly feel its periodic contortions. In fact, it may be several more months before your baby makes his presence known to you. You may feel those first momentous kicks, called \";quickening,\"; anywhere from 14 to 26 weeks of pregnancy. The usual time frame is more like 18 to 22 weeks, though, especially for first pregnancies. Veteran moms tend to feel fetal movement earlier than first-time moms. Why? Uterine muscles are less taut, so a woman is more sensitive to soft kicking. Besides, if you've been pregnant before, you'll probably recognize the feel of a fetal kick, and can differentiate it from other belly rumblings, such as gas, for example. Bear in mind, too, that your build may have something to do with when you'll be able to distinguish a hunger pang from a left jab. Thinner women tend to feel movement earlier and more often than women who are overweight.

What does it feel like?

Tough question. Nobody can tell a first-time mother-to-be precisely what she'll feel because it's different for everybody. That said, we'll give it a try. Typically, you might first recognize a delicate tapping. Some women compare it to the fluttering of a butterfly just below your belly button. Chances are, you'll chalk up those first signs or movements to gas or hunger pains. But when you notice them on and off over the next few days, you'll eventually realize the difference. \";At first, every time my stomach growled, I'd wonder what it was,\"; says one mother. \";And then one day I had this feeling of a goldfish swimming around my belly, and immediately I was certain that it was my baby.\"; Be warned that as the fetus grows, that goldfish may start to feel more like a shark attacking your rib cage. During these times it may help to bear in mind that an active fetus is a healthy fetus.

How often should I feel movements?

At first the fetal kicks you notice will be few and far between. In fact, you may feel several movements one day and then none the next. Although your baby is tossing and turning regularly, many of his jerks and jolts aren't yet strong enough for you to feel. But by 28 weeks those reassuring kicks will become stronger and more regular. If you're tempted to compare \";kicking\"; notes with other pregnant women, don't worry if your experience differs from your friends'. Every fetus has its own pattern of activity and development, and there is no correct one. As long as there are no major changes in your fetus's activity level, chances are he's doing just fine.

Do I need to keep track of the kicking?

For an added sense of security, many practitioners recommend that after 28 weeks, pregnant women test for fetal movement at least once or twice a day. There are many ways of counting fetal kicks, so ask your practitioner how she'd like you to do this. Here's one common way recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists: Time how long it takes you to feel ten kicks, flutters, swishes or rolls. Ideally, you want to feel at least ten movements within two hours. (Don't worry; it probably won't take that long. Sometimes you'll feel ten kicks with the first ten minutes.) If you don't feel ten movements within that time, try lying on your left side and try counting again — your baby is more likely to be active when you're in this position. She's also most likely to be active between 9 pm and 1 am, when your blood sugar level is dipping.

When do I know if something's wrong?

Ask your practitioner what kinds of changes she'd like you to be on the lookout for. In general, you should let her know if you've noticed an absence or slowdown of fetal movement for more than 24 hours after 22 weeks. Your baby may simply be in a different position, but he might also be in distress. You may need an ultrasound to check on his condition.
