I am at 28 weeks now. I have yet to feel any kicks or movement from the baby. When do we usually start to feel baby movement?

Most people should be able to feel baby's first movements, called "quickening," between weeks 16 and 25 of your pregnancy.

Also you may want to highlight this to your gynea on your next visit
