Pregnancy Over 40 and Quickening
Well...at first glance that sounds like a bisquit mix in a hurry!My site: www.getpregnantover40.com
But no, it's a term that describes the first fetal movements you feel in early pregnancy. Sources say that this occurs in most women between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. I guess I've always been a little off the norm, but I swear I felt my baby move at 9 weeks. Yep, I said 9 weeks. I was told by a number of my healthcare providers that it would be impossible to feel your baby move at 9 weeks, but I know what I felt!

All that aside, here is an article which includes a number of women describing this sensation:"We were sitting there on the couch. I felt something and I looked around, no one else seemed to be aware of it. Then I realized it must have been the baby. It was a nice little secret to keep for the few weeks only I could feel him flutter about."
