When do you start feeling baby move every day?

Question

I am 20wks 1 day pregnant. I felt the first flutters of baby moving at 15/16wks. Now i feel actual movements (not just flutters) but with no real consistency. Generally it is when i'm lying in bed reading a story to baby but not always.

At what stage (i know everyone is different but an approximate is fine) will i feel baby move a few times a day, everyday?

As always, many thanks for your advice :)

Answer 1

I'm not quite sure when I started feeling my baby move all the time. Maybe 6-7 months. Are you working? Sometimes we may be so busy that we don't even notice when the baby moves. That's how it was with me. If I was up and about I never felt him but the moment I sat still or if I was lying down I instantly felt him. If you lie down the same time every time, he'll be sure to move. So unless you're lying down all day, there's really no consistency. However, I always felt him move after I ate b/c of course, I had to sit down after I ate. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I already don't remember and I'm 31 weeks. I think it was around 23-24 weeks when I started to notice movement at least once a day. Some days the baby is way more active then others even still. I would give it just a couple more weeks before you start to feel the baby move everyday and perhaps at certain times of the day. My baby is most active when I lay down at night (go figure) but I dont think it's annoying or anything like that. I personally love to feel her kick!

Through out your pregnancy you will feel the baby at its most active when you are least active. When you move around you rock the baby to sleep, and when you stop moving that's when its time for baby to play. Sometimes you will feel the baby move when you are on the go, but not until it is bigger and stronger to get noticed when it packs a punch. Each baby is different and no one can give you a specific time, some babies are more active than others, but as long as you feel it move regularly then you know baby is OK. You are right on track when it comes to feeling the first flutters, which is usually felt between 16-20 weeks.

Answer 4

The baby will move everyday, but just moments during the day, because they sleep most of the time. He'll move a lot more when you're lying down, because of your posture. Sometimes he or she will just feel uncomfortable that way you're sitting down, they usually react to many things. Music, stories, sing to the baby that will make him move, they can actually hear in there.

Answer 5

i started feeling movement everyday after 17 weeks. actually saw movement at around 20 weeks. when you lay down or lounge you'll feel baby move more because you're not moving. baby moves all the time but we're not paying attention with everyday activities.

Answer 6

I did not notice a lot of consistency when my baby moved but I did notice she moved a lot when I was not active (which was at night). She did move during the day but I was working so I didn't really notice it as much. My doctor said that she wouldn't move at the same time every day (which was a duh) but to make sure she moved at least 4 times every hour. I do not miss being pregnant but I do miss feeling her move, its a great feeling isn't it? :-)

Answer 7

Well, for me it was around 25 weeks... That is when the baby's movements can all be felt, not just kicks, but elbows, knees and even his little butt pressing against your uterus :) your baby is most active from 28-32 weeks.

Answer 8

usually 4 to 5 months

Answer 9

it varies. Some women never feel the baby. It depends on how active your baby is and whether or not you know what your feeling, some women think it is butterflies or gas, and it is the baby moving.

Answer 10

When you lay down, lay on your side and they baby will kick for a long time.
