ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

The Little Kicks

The little kicks are the movements you feel when a baby inside a mommy's belly moves around. Imagine your toy car moving around in your hand, that's how a baby moves around in a mommy's belly. The baby is still too small for mommy to feel anything for the first few months, but as it grows bigger, mommy may start to feel some movement. These movements are called the little kicks! They can feel like little flutters, or even like someone tapping on your belly from the inside. It's a special feeling for mommy and a sign that the baby is healthy and growing strong.
