A member asked:
At 12 weeks pregnant, should i be able to feel my baby with my hand?

Not likely: The growing uterus typically rises above the pubic bone into the lower abdomen between 12 and 14 weeks. But you won't likely feel the baby move with your hand until after 20 weeks.

No: An experienced mom may be able to feel baby move at 16 weeks but first timers rarely do so until a month later. Some anticipate this feeling but often it is just gas.
