Beta, it's very common not to feel baby movements at 14 weeks, especially if this is your first pregnancy. Most mothers, particularly first-timers, start feeling these gentle flutters, often called 'quickening,' anywhere from 18 to 22 weeks. Initially, it might feel like gas bubbles or a slight twitch, making it hard to recognise. The position of your placenta or your body type can also affect when you first notice these movements.
However, if you are feeling a lot of tension and worry, it is always best to consult your gynaecologist. They can offer reassurance by listening to the baby's heartbeat or conducting a quick check-up. This will give you peace of mind, which is so important for you and your baby during this precious time. Don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor with any concerns you have.
