What is the feeling of fetal movement at five months of pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It may be possible to feel fetal movement as early as 16-18 weeks, or even earlier. This is mainly because the earliest fetal movements feel like fish swimming or wings fluttering, and are often mistaken for indigestion, gas, or hunger. However, experienced mothers are more familiar with the signs that occur, so they are better able to recognize the sensation of fetal movement at an earlier stage.
