How many weeks into pregnancy can you feel fetal movement?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, most first-time mothers start feeling fetal movement around the 20th week of pregnancy; while multiparous women tend to feel it earlier, around the 16th week. At first, the fetal movement is very slight and may not be easily noticeable, requiring a quiet state to sense it. Regarding the timing of wearing maternity clothes, you can decide based on your personal preference and the degree of abdominal expansion.
