how soon do babies move when you are pregnant?

Question

I was wondering how soon you can feel the baby move if your pregnant. i was told that babies can sometimes get hiccups. is that true? if so does anyone know how soon that happens?

Answer 1

I think about weeks 16-25 weeks. But you can feel it later or earlier.

I felt mine at 12 weeks!

Answer 2

Honestly, I felt my baby @ 9 weeks. It was like a bunch of bubbles or a butterfly fluttering really fast. I know it was the baby because it happened twice in a row. Then I felt the same thing @ 11 weeks. Then I felt feathers (as if someone was lightly going over my belly with a feather) @ 17 weeks. It stayed constant after that. I am now 21 weeks and I feel him actually kicking me now, for the last few weeks. They actually feel like kicks. If I put my hand on my belly, he will kick me. It seems like he follows my hand around and continues to kick it. It is awesome. Babies DO hiccup before they are born. You will definately know when that is. It's really rhythmic. Just like if you were hiccuping. Good Luck.

Answer 3

everyones different, and i honestly think it has to do with a lot of different factors, like the size of the baby, its postion, if its a first time pregnancy....but i felt my daughter move for the first time by the time I was 3 or 4 months along, and it felt like butterlys or a tiny fish swimming around every once and awhile, like little flutters...and it was the best feeling in the whole world!
And about the hiccups, im pretty sure my daughter got them, she even had them once suring an ultrasound! Good luck and congrats....

Answer 4

Babies do move early, but it is hard to detect. You might feel a muscle like spasm in your 5th month, but in your 6th, you'll know it is the baby. The further along you get the more active it becomes, and the stronger they get. I have heard about hiccups too, but I could never feel any of mine do that and I had 5.

Answer 5

I didn't hardly feel my son in my 1st pregnancy, but with this one I started feeling things at 12 wks. And now being 29wks he is moving all the time and he can even kick the remote off my belly. And yes they can get the hiccups.. my son gets them every now and then.. it is cute to see my stomach bounce. Babycenter.com has some interesting things about hiccups in the belly. Good luck.. and Congrats.

Answer 6

i felt my baby moving at around 4 months. It is true that baby's get hiccups. They can get hiccups anytime during pregnancy.

Answer 7

I first felt my son move around 20 weeks and I first felt hiccups around 30 weeks or so.

Answer 8

yes they get hiccups.. but you don't feel that until the 3'rd trimester when they are bigger and every movement hits you from the inside. My fist moved at 5 moths.. this one at 14 weeks

Answer 9

Yes babies can get hiccups...and they are funny to see....but about the feeling of the baby I don't know as I don't have any kiddies of my own yet....

Answer 10

i think everyone is different when it comes to feeling the baby. yes they can get hiccups is really cute. when my sister was pregnant with my niece you could see her belly move with every hiccup. she still gets them alot.

Answer 11

it depends. every pregnancy is different for one and for two it depends on if this is your first pregnancy or if u have had a pregnancy before. if u have had a pregnancy before u will be able to feel the baby move sooner. When u do start feeling it move it will feel like butterflies in your stomache. u will never forget the first time u do feel it though.
