Wondering when you'll feel
your baby moving inside you,
and what she's up to in there?
Here are of the most-asked questions
and answers.
Question -- How soon will I feel
my baby fluttering around?
If you're a first-time mom-to-be,
you might not feel your little one move
'til weeks 18-25.
Maybe as soon as 13-16 weeks
into your pregnancy --
if you've had kids before.
At first it might feel
like you're having gas,
but once you notice a pattern
to the flutters, that'll tell
you it's your little one
on the move.
What kind of acrobatics
is my baby up to?
Early on she's stretching
or flexing her little limbs.
Later in the pregnancy
you may feel her kick,
punch, or roll!
That helps her muscles get
stronger.
What things make her move
around?
She might react to noises she
hears you make,
or she may squirm when you're
in a position that's uncomfy
for her.
Other times, she might simply
be waking up.
Should I count my baby's kicks?
If your doctor asks you to.
Otherwise, you don't have to track it.
Dwelling on the kick count
could make you anxious.
If you think your little one
might be moving around less than usual,
check in with your doctor
to ease your worries.
