This is a common question that women may find themselves asking throughout pregnancy. In the first trimester, it can be especially troubling because you can’t feel the baby move yet. Most of the time, if there is something wrong, you’ll have symptoms. Cramping and bleeding are the most common signs that something may be wrong. Your care giver can do an ultrasound to find the heartbeat during the first trimester, or if you are between 10 and 12 weeks, they may be able to pick up the heartbeat on a Doppler.  Later in pregnancy, feeling your baby move is a good indication of health and well-being for your baby. You will get acquainted with your baby’s habits. A regular growth of your belly is also a good sign that your baby is growing well. By late pregnancy, kick counts are a good way to keep track of baby’s activity.
