when do you first feel your baby kick?

Question

I keep getting this pulsating feeling in my belly on the left side. I count like 5 or 6 then it stops. I should only be 7 weeks but is that far along enough for my baby to kick???? HELP!!

Answer 1

I don’t think that it’s a kick. At 7 weeks your baby does not even hiccup. You might just be having gas. You might start feeling keeps by 14 weeks, but not many people realize or notice it. My baby was kicking on ultrasounds but I did not feel it until 18 weeks. As time goes on you will even be able to differentiate a arm from a foot and at 24 weeks your baby might be able to kick back when you press on your stomach.

You can take a look at this web site http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/gettingpregnant/l/blpregcalc.htm I used it when I was pregnant and found it really helpful. It goes into detail about what your body and the baby is doing each week. Congratulations.

Answer 2

First child: 16 weeks
Second child: 18 weeks
Third And Fourth Children: 14 weeks-i think they were fighting for a bit of room in there!

7 weeks is a bit soon to feel the baby kick, its most probably gas that you are feeling

Answer 3

That is really early to start feeling movement. I didnt feel anything until I was about 18 weeks along and that's normal. Some women who have had babies before recognize the movements sooner around 14 weeks but at 7 weeks I would assume its just gas....

Answer 4

I doubt that you are feeling your baby at first it kind of feels like a butterfly moving in your stomach, I really recommend that you get the book What to Expect when you are expecting, this is really useful for all those crazy questions when you are prego, also it says that most people start to feel baby moving between 18 and 20 weeks, so I doubt that you are feeling it that early!

Answer 5

Normally movement can be detected between 16 and 18 weeks. Some women who are slim and very in tune with their bodies, can feel movement by 14 weeks. Pay attention to that first really good KICK, and record the date. Your midwife can calculate your due date much better when she has that quickening date.

Answer 6

you should feel your baby kick at around 16-20 weeks. At first the way I described the feeling is like a twitch. You know like what you get in your knee or something.

Answer 7

I feel each being pregnant is unique, no longer simply each man or woman, however customarily I feel such a lot begin feeling their little one kick at among four and five months. I am heavy and began feeling my oldest at approximately four months and my more youthful son slightly over five months and so they each have entirely unique personalities as good. Probably no longer involving the kicking, simply that they have been unique in such a lot the whole lot. I want you the entire good fortune on your being pregnant!

Answer 8

I think thats a bit early. I was about 15 weeks when I first felt mine. It took even longer for others to fell it. its only about the size of a pean now. You may have gas.

Answer 9

when I was at that point I had the same feelings
I believe it to be movement not just kicks ...try flips and hi cups and whole body spasms...tell your Dr , but I wouldn't worry too much , but keep a tally of it!!..I kept a journal of odd feelings to give to my Dr.
That helped ,because during everything my mine would wander

Answer 10

I was 15 weeks when I first felt him. I thought I felt him earlier but it was gas.
