Patient's question:
I am already three months pregnant, but I haven't felt the baby move yet. What could be the reason? So I want to know how long after getting pregnant can one feel the baby move? The kind of help I need: How long after getting pregnant can one feel the baby move?Doctor's answer:
After becoming pregnant, the time when the expectant mother usually feels fetal movement is around 20 weeks. Sometimes, it is possible to feel fetal movement as early as 18 weeks. When the fetal movement begins, it is relatively weak and not very noticeable. If by 20 weeks of pregnancy, the expectant mother has not yet felt fetal movement, it is advisable to promptly go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check whether the fetal growth and development are normal and in line with the early pregnancy period.
