When should I start feeling baby move? 🤔
It’s one of the most common questions I get from parents in early pregnancy — and the answer might surprise you!
That limbo time between your dating scan and when movements start can be a hard time. Pregnancy symptoms have often settled, but you're yet to feel movements. It's very common to wonder during this stage if all is still well.
👶 Feeling those first flutters usually happens between 16–24 weeks. If it’s your first baby, it's usually at the later end of this range of normal. It's very individual, so try not to compare.
✨ Just because you’re not feeling movement yet, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong. Your placenta’s position, your baby’s size, and your own body can all influence when you first feel those magical, reassuring kicks.
If you’re earlier on in pregnancy and want to feel more confident, more connected, and more prepared — now is exactly the time to start.
💪 My pregnancy exercise classes are perfect for this stage — they’re designed to support your body for a strong & comfortable pregnancy, & an easier birth.
🧘♀️ And my Hypnobirthing courses are the best way to build calm, knowledge, and confidence well before birth day.
