In a first pregnancy, fetal movements are typically felt between 18–20 weeks and become more consistent by around 22 weeks. However, there can be several reasons for not perceiving movements clearly at 25 weeks, such as maternal factors like obesity, an anterior placenta, or fetal positioning, as well as fetal factors like reduced activity. It’s important to note that fetal movements become more significant for monitoring in the third trimester rather than now. Also, it is not mandatory to feel movements after every meal.
