First time moms will feel the baby movements between week 18-24. Early movements feel like gas bubbles or butterflies. Many times may also get ignored. By week 26 movements are strong and very noticeable. Keep a check - plan for an hour every day and count for ten movements within that hour. Keep a diary with the patterns. If you notice a change report to the doctor. In the ninth month space is less and hence baby will have more relaxed movements but the number of movements will remain the same. Sonalis Desk
hi Puchu it is best to post questions independently and not in a thread as they tend to get missed. Spotting is not expected at this stage of pregnancy and hence the doctor has prescribed progesterone. 22 weeks is a little early to feel consistent movements. Get an ultrasound as advised. You would have heard the baby's heart tones via Doppler earlier at doctors visits right ?

Hi Ashwini it is fine to feel movements at certain times of the day. However over all within an hour you should be able to count about ten movements.
