Baby flutters in early pregnancy Experienced mothers may notice movement as early as 13 weeks. If you feel anything fluttering about in your stomach around this time, it's probable that your baby is grooving. The baby's kicks are often referred to as "quickening." Feeling your baby move for the first time can be very exciting! Although most women experience their first kick within a few days of conception, some don't feel them until they reach week 12. You may or may not feel your baby moving in early pregnancy, but if you're able to catch a glimpse of your belly in the mirror, then you already know that you're carrying something inside it. As we all know, babies grow pretty fast so by now your little one should be about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long from head to foot, and about 100 grams (3 oz) in weight. That's why most doctors recommend having your first prenatal visit no later than the seventh month into your pregnancy. You might also want to check out these other interesting facts on healthtap.
