Less likely: Babies are normally felt 13- 25 weeks. If there are more sensations it will be reasonable to see your doctor for full history and exam. Good luck and congrats

Probably not: 6 weeks is far too early to feel the baby move. It is more likely just intestinal movement or gas. If you start having severe pain or bleeding, see your doctor. Hope this helps!

No: Quickening is the medical term for when a pregnant woman first feels the baby move inside. Some women can feel this as early as 13-14weeks if they have had pregnancies before. If it is your first pregnancy, you probably won't be able to feel the baby move till 18-20 wks in your pregnancy. At the 18-20 wks it is still very faint, like light tapping.
