When should a baby start kicking?

Question

My girlfriend is a little over one month pregnant, and we're both wondering when the baby should start kicking.

Help?

Answer 1

Baby kicks and moves very early on but she won't be able to really feel anything until about 20 wks and you won't really feel anything until after that.  

Answer 2

anywhere between 15-23weeks

Answer 3

It depends on the mother, but generally between 18-20 weeks.

Answer 4

If this is her first pregnancy she should feel the baby between 16-20 weeks. You may not be able to feel the baby kicking when touching her stomach but she will. Good luck with your pregnancy

Answer 5

about 20 weeks

Answer 6

Oh she has a little way to go. Is this her first? If so, it will be around 18-20 weeks before the baby kicks. Right now she has to worry about getting her rest. Then she is going through the morning sickness and with that very sore aorund the chest area. So tell her to be paitent and rest and enjoy every minute of it. I'm 18 weeks myself with number 3. So good luck to both of U!!!!!!!

Answer 7

I started feeling my son kick and punch at 16 weeks. Hubby felt him move from the outside at 18 weeks. good lucK! it totally depends on the person and their body though! if shes chubby or a little overweight she may not feel him or her more until later than 16 weeks =]
