Without a doubt, it is one of the most exciting moments of pregnancy. The baby moves energetically inside the uterus from conception, but in the first weeks you cannot notice it yet.
It will be later when you notice the first kicks of your baby moving inside you , and from there it will be a constant until the end of pregnancy. A wonderful feeling that your baby grows inside you and that you feel accompanied at all times. A unique connection between mother and her unborn baby.
When and how will I notice them
You cannot generalize by putting an exact date, because every pregnancy and every woman is different. But, if we are guided by the normal development of the baby, its first movements begin to be felt around the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy.
If it is your first pregnancy, they can begin to be noticed approximately between week 18 and week 20, and if you have already had a previous pregnancy or more, approximately from week 15 or week 16 of pregnancy.
If the pregnancy is multiple or the pregnancy date is wrong and we are actually pregnant for a longer time, it is also possible that the movements are noticed earlier.
How will the first kicks feel? If you are a newbie, it may be difficult to identify them at first. It feels like a butterfly, or as if there is a little fish moving inside you and you may wonder if that was your baby or a bowel movement.
As the weeks go by, you will be able to identify without a doubt the first kicks , which we call them that, but they could also be slaps of the baby on the walls of the uterus.
It is more common to perceive their movements when you are relaxed and with more intensity when you go to sleep. It is also common for it to move more in the afternoon and when you have eaten.
An exciting memory
There are few sensations as beautiful as feeling the movements of your child inside you. It also coincides with the stage in which nausea and the most common discomforts of the first trimester begin to disappear and the belly begins to show, which gives greater security.
The first kicks are the first communication with your baby, the tangible proof that the baby is there, that everything is fine, since the baby’s movements are a sign of fetal well-being.
