Fetal Movement at 16 Weeks: What to Expect

It is possible for some babies to make small, reflexive movements in the womb at 16 weeks of pregnancy, but these movements are not typically recognizable as kicks. Most women do not begin to feel their baby's movements, known as quickening, until around 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. However, every pregnancy is different and some women may feel earlier fetal movements while some may feel them slightly later. If you have any concerns or questions about your pregnancy, always consult with your healthcare provider.
