A member asked:

I am 16weeks pregnant and can't feel my baby movement yet, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Soon: Most women can detect fetal movement by 16 weeks or so the second time around while it is more like 20 the first.Of course the kid has to cooperate.Many are somewhat quiet during pregnancy and some act like soccer players.
