If you're in your third trimester and you're worried that you're not feeling your baby move very often, definitely try the kick count. If you monitor your baby's kicks or movements during a particular window of time but you're still not logging enough movements, call your doctor.

Baby's first “kicks” don't feel like sharp jabs or karate chops (that's coming soon), but instead more like an inner fluttering or that butterfly feeling you get in your tummy when you're nervous. For some, it may feel like little waves.

If You Don't Feel Your Baby Moving As your baby grows, you'll be able to better distinguish his or her movements. You'll also figure out at what times of the day your baby is most active. Some babies just naturally move less often than others. A lack of movement also may mean that your baby is asleep.

The baby could be sleeping, or just in a position that makes the kicks harder to feel, if you still cant get the baby to move you could call the dr and see if they can get you in for a quick ultrasound. Sometimes they are really good about that if you have worries.

Some moms can feel their baby move as early as 13-16 weeks from the start of their last period. These first fetal movements are called quickening and are often described as flutters. It may be difficult to determine whether this feeling is gas or your baby's movements, but soon you will begin to notice a pattern.

Every pregnancy is unique. There's no set number of movements or kicks that you should feel so it's unlikely that your baby's moving "too much". Instead, try to learn your baby's individual patterns of movement. You may find that there are particular times of day when she's most active.

Yes, many mums-to-be feel movement sooner the second time around. If you've had a baby before, you've already experienced the strange and wonderful sensation of another life moving inside you, so you know what to look out for. This means that you'll probably be able to identify baby kicks earlier this time.

A: After about 20 weeks, you should feel your baby should move every day, but there's a wide range of how much activity is considered normal. On some days, your baby may seem like the Energizer bunny, while other times you may be less likely to notice every little kick and wriggle.
