When will fetal movement occur after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, women start to feel fetal movements between 16-20 weeks, but every individual's experience is different. This is related to the thickness of the abdominal wall and personal sensitivity. Most first-time mothers feel noticeable fetal movements around 20 weeks. Since you are only 17 weeks pregnant and haven't felt any movement yet, this is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry.
You should now maintain a positive mood, eat a balanced diet, get adequate rest, and attend prenatal check-ups on schedule. Keeping a relaxed mindset is very beneficial for the baby.
