Answer and Explanation:

The uterine muscles of a woman are the quick to sensing fetal motions and movements. Quickening is a first sensation movement of the foetus to the mother that may feel like a light tapping at about the 18-20 weeks for primigravida women and 15-17 weeks for para women. The sensations eventually become stronger and more regular as the pregnancy progresses until birth.
