Everybody should start to feel that baby moving at some stage during the second trimester so between 16 weeks and 24 weeks. If you still haven't felt anything by 24 weeks, then come and let your Midwife know. So she can listen to the baby's heartbeat from the outside and check as well.

When the expecting mother lies on her left side, she experiences an increase in the number of her baby’s kicks. Lying on the left side during pregnancy boosts the blood supply to the fetus. As a result, there is an improvement in the baby’s movements, and you experience an increase in her kicks.
