The baby grows day by day in the womb, and fetal movement is the activity of the fetus in the mother's uterus. Normal fetal movement is a special 'letter home' from the fetus to the mother, indicating that the fetus is in good condition.

 
Relevant data shows that generally, fetal movements should not be less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and the number of movements within 12 hours should be between 30 to 40 times, indicating that the fetus is very healthy.
 
Speaking of fetal movement, different pregnant mothers experience different sensations. Some pregnant mothers notice fetal movement earlier, while others notice it later; it can be said that fetal movement varies from person to person.
 
 
Pregnant mothers who have not yet experienced fetal movement may be curious about it. What does it feel like when fetal movement occurs? How long after pregnancy can one feel fetal movement?

How long after pregnancy can one feel fetal movement?
 
Data analysis shows that pregnant mothers typically start to feel fetal movement around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy.
Fetal movement is the action of the fetus impacting the uterine wall while moving in the uterine cavity. The sensation of fetal movement is a manifestation of life within the uterus. Pregnant women generally start to feel fetal movement around 18-20 weeks, with multiparous women experiencing it earlier than primiparous women.

What does fetal movement feel like?

 

 
Different stages, different feelings.
The sensation of fetal movement can be described as each occurrence being like a gentle tug at the heartstrings, making one feel that moment is wonderful, always leaving a lingering taste of the intimate interaction with the baby in the belly. The fetal movements vary at different stages, so expectant mothers who are not familiar should take a look.

If a pregnant mother is experiencing fetal movement for the first time, she is likely to feel it for the first time around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy.
 
At this time, the fetus is still small and weak, so the sensation of fetal movement is faint, like the fluttering of a butterfly's wings.

From 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, the frequency of fetal movements will gradually increase, and the mother can feel the strength of the baby's movements becoming stronger.

From 24-28 weeks of pregnancy, fetal movement generally starts to become more regular around 28 weeks. The baby will develop a more regular rhythm of sleep and wakefulness. When the baby is awake, the mother will notice more frequent and stronger movements. When the baby is sleeping, the frequency of movements will significantly decrease.

From 33-36 weeks of pregnancy, the baby may have already formed a curled position with its head down. The mother can feel the baby poking her belly with its little arms and legs, and sometimes, this little one might even kick the mother's ribs painfully.

From 36-40 weeks of pregnancy, as the baby grows larger, the range of movement within the uterus becomes limited, so the mother will notice that the big rolling movements of the baby are not as frequent. In the last two weeks of pregnancy, fetal movements may slow down slightly, and the baby's growth rate may also decrease a bit; these are all normal.

A reminder to all expectant mothers: your body size may also affect how long it takes to feel fetal movement. Compared to heavier pregnant women, lighter women often feel fetal movement earlier and usually experience it more frequently.
