In which month baby start moving in womb

Every pregnancy is different, so it’s hard to say exactly what you’ll feel and when. If this is your first baby, you may not be able to feel much until after 20 weeks of pregnancy (Fretts 2021, Larson 2020, NHS 2021, RCOG 2019).

However, some women can feel flutterings from as early as 16 weeks, especially if this is their second pregnancy (Larson 2020, RCOG 2019).

Here’s an idea of what to expect from your baby’s movementsduring your second trimester and third trimester.

16 weeks to 19 weeks

You’ll probably experience some faint and fluttery feelings (quickening) in your tummy at around 18 weeks.

They may feel like gentle puffs or bubbles of air being released, or you may notice a soft swirling or rolling sensation in your belly (NHS 2021, RCOG 2019, Smith et al 2021). If this is your first pregnancy, it may take a bit longer before you realise that those gentle little jolts and knocks are actually your baby moving about (Larson 2020, NHS 2021, Smith et al 2021)!

Not everyone enjoys those first little flutters, however.
