Common question for week 11
When will I feel the baby move?
First-time parents usually feel movement between 18 and 22 weeks. Those who have been pregnant before often notice it earlier, around 16 weeks.
Every pregnancy is different. Sizes are averages, symptoms vary widely, and none of this replaces the guidance of your own provider.
