QuestionI am 5 months pregnant and i was wondering how it feels when a baby kicks. I recently started feeling a thumping on the inside of my stomach; is that my baby? I would always like to know when other people will be able to feel it?
Thank you
AnswerDear Tiffany,
Yes, most likely that is the movement of the baby that you are feeling - a kick, an elbow, a push of a hand, etc,... Eventually, you will be able to see it as well. when you begin to feel it, place your hand over the spot on your belly where it is occurring. If you can feel it, others will be able to as well. This usually happens anywhere between 5-6 months, depending upon the size/activity level of the baby and the size of the mother.
I hope this has helped you and answered your question. I wish you well and apologize for the delay - unfortunately I have been dealing with a personal family crisis.
