Question 1

how soon do you feel a baby kick?

Accepted Answer

13-16 weeks: The first time a mom feels her baby kick was called "the quickening" in the days of old. Typically this happens between 13 and 16 weeks, with more experienced moms feeling it closer to 13 weeks.

Question 2

is 14 weeks too soon to feel the baby kick? i'm pretty sure i felt the baby kick this morning when i was in the shower. :). (this is my 2nd pregnancy)

Accepted Answer

Not with 2nd: First pregnancies a mom usually feels movement ("quickening") at average 17 weeks; experienced moms report much earlier, so 14 weeks is probably correct. Good wishes.

Question 3

how often should i feel my baby kick?

Accepted Answer

Baby kicks: It depends on how far along you are in the pregnancy.

Question 4

when will i start to feel the baby kick?

Accepted Answer

20 weeks: If it's your first baby, usually around 20-22 weeks. If you've already had a baby, 18-20 weeks. It also depends on other factors like which way your uterus tilts, how thin or heavy you are, and where the placenta is.

Question 5

when should i be able to feel my baby kick?

Accepted Answer

Kick: Roughly at about 20 weeks of pregnancy, you should be able to feel the baby move.  It will not feel like a kick at first - that will come later. Take care.

Question 6

when will others be able to feel the baby kick?

Accepted Answer

7 months: It's usually about 5 months for you to feel it and 7 months for others to be able to feel it, but the further you are along the less likely your baby may have 'stage fright' when you are having someone else try to feel past 7 months.

Question 7

how many times per day should i feel my baby kick?

Accepted Answer

5 kicks per hour: After 28 weeks or so most patients report 5 movements per hour when they are doing "kick counts." to do kick counts correctly you should be lying down in a quiet place without distractions like the tv. 
This way you can focus on feeling the movements.

Question 8

when will other people be able to see my baby kick?

Accepted Answer

24 weeks: Around 24 weeks the baby is big enough to cause visible movement of mom's belly when it rolls or kicks.

Question 9

how frequently do you feel baby kick after first time?

Accepted Answer

Different per person: Typically after feeling the baby move for the first time (18-22 weeks), the movements are irregular and light for a few weeks, and then as you get into the late second trimester they become more regular and stronger. Always let your doctor know if you perceive a change from what you're used to feeling for baby's movement.

Question 10

how often during the 9th month should you feel your baby kick?

Accepted Answer

Follow the pattern !: Fetal movement will establish a pattern that you recognize. This is individual. If there is less movement, call your physician to do some testing asap !
