Dear doctor ,
Thank you for your answer.

When can I feel my baby movements?.

Brief Answer:
As below

Detailed Answer:
Perception of fetal movements depends on a lot of factors.
If this is your first pregnancy, then you will feel the baby movements by your 5th or 6th month of pregnancy, that is around 22 - 24 weeks.
If you are obese, or the placenta is anterior, this maybe slightly later.
Take care.
