Perhaps you do not know that at the 32nd week, your
babies move 375 times very day.
All
future moms want to feel the first kicks of their babies. It is an interesting
feeling and evidence showing that the babies still develop healthily in their
bellies.
The first weeks
Although
at the first week, you cannot feel whether your babies kick or not, at about 12
weeks old, babies move quite much in moms’ bellies. They move their bodies,
hands and legs. At 16 weeks old, babies’
moves become stronger and more complex. They can punch, kick, tumble, and even
move their fingers.

The first kicks
At
about the 16th week, experienced moms will feel some change in their
bellies. This feeling looks like something elastic in the belly, but will not
be recognized by first-time pregnant women. Not until the 20th week
will this feeling become clearer.
Many moms feel worried when
their babies still do not kick at the 22nd week, and even go to
hospital for examination. But, in fact, their moves are so small at this stage
that you cannot feel clearly.
Mom’s
belly – baby’s own ‘gym’
Since around the 22nd
week, babies’ moves have become stronger and more regular. At this time, babies
are performing their own practice regimes: curve and stretch to intensify
muscles, and develop their ability to move.
You may feel a light
kick when babies kick into the uterus edge or tumble to change to another more
comfortable position. Maybe babies regularly change and move in a particular cycle.
Before the 34th
week, most babies lie at contrary position, so you can feel their strong kicks.

Get used to babies’ kicks gradually
When your babies are under
the development process, you will recognize certain moves, and even feel something
unstable due to the way your babies kick. A sudden noise can make babies kick,
or when being too excited or nervous, they also show different ways in kicking.
Prepare for birth
At about the 34th
week, babies will kick less in their moves since they have less space to turn
their bodies and kick. At this time, most babies spend much time turning their
heads downwards, so you may feel hurt a little due to their kicks into your
sides.
Be relaxed since that
means your babies are preparing and ready to be born. You will soon see babies
who have been kicking and moving in your bellies for a long time.
If babies stop kicking
If babies’ kick process
changes or you do not feel any move for a long time, do not worry so much.
Sometimes, when babies change their position, it will be more difficult to
recognize their moves, or maybe you are awake while they are sleeping.
However, you must best
know you babies’ moves, so if worrying about their not kicking, go to see the
doctor immediately for examination.
