when will i feel my baby kick

You will generally start to feel your baby kick, also called "quickening," between 16 and 25 weeks of pregnancy. For first-time moms, it might be closer to 20-25 weeks, while moms who have been pregnant before may feel movements as early as 13-16 weeks. The first movements feel like gentle flutters, butterflies, or nervous twitches and become more distinct and stronger as the pregnancy progresses into the second and third trimesters. You are more likely to feel these movements when you are sitting quietly or lying down.
