Patient's question:
How many months into pregnancy can you feel fetal movement?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The trunk and limbs of the fetus begin to move around weeks 6-8 of pregnancy, but the movements are very small and may not be noticeable to the pregnant woman. Most first-time mothers generally do not feel fetal movement until weeks 18-22 of pregnancy. However, multiparous women may start feeling fetal movement as early as week 16 of pregnancy. But among normal fetuses, there is also a great variation in fetal movement, with some being more active and others less so. If you do not feel any fetal movement within a day, you should immediately consult an obstetrician to confirm whether the fetal movement has ceased.
