    Your baby's movements

    When you'll feel your baby move

    You should start to feel your baby move between 16 to 24 weeks of pregnancy.

    When to worry about fetal movement

  • Is it normal to feel baby move some days and not others?
  • Difference between gas bubbles and baby moving
  • When to go to hospital for decreased fetal movement
  • What does a super active baby in womb mean
  • If this is your first baby, you might not feel movements until after 20 weeks.

    If you have not felt your baby move by 24 weeks, tell your midwife. They'll check your baby's heartbeat and movements.

    You should feel your baby move right up to and during labour.

    What your baby's movements feel like

    The movements can feel like a gentle swirling or fluttering.

    As your pregnancy progresses, you may feel kicks and jerky movements.

    Urgent advice: Call your midwife or maternity unit immediately if:

    • your baby is moving less than usual
    • you cannot feel your baby moving anymore
    • there is a change to your baby's usual pattern of movements

    They'll need to check your baby's movements and heartbeat.

    Do not wait until the next day – call immediately, even if it's the middle of the night.

    How often should your baby move?

    There's no set number of movements you should feel each day – every baby is different.
