A member asked:

How does it feel for a baby to move in the womb at 16 weeks pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Fluttering...": Many women don't feel the baby move until 20 weeks of pregnancy. Those who can feel It, usually described as a "fluttering" sensation--something like a butterfly in your abdomen. Best wishes!
