When does a new mother first feel the baby?

Last Update: 08/07/2024

Generally speaking, a new mother will begin to feel her baby's movements inside her womb around the 20th week of pregnancy.

On the other hand, if it is not the first pregnancy, a woman may notice the baby's movements even a month earlier, around week 16.
