In which week of gestation can multiparous clients typically expect to feel fetal movement?

Multiparous clients, who have previously been pregnant, generally begin to feel fetal movement earlier than nulliparous clients (first-time mothers). Typically, multiparous individuals can expect to feel quickening, or initial fetal movements, between 14 and 20 weeks of gestation. This is due to their familiarity with the sensations associated with movement and the ability to recognize them more readily compared to first-time expectant mothers, who may start feeling movement around 18 to 20 weeks.

The time frame of 14 to 20 weeks is significant as it marks the period when the fetus is growing larger and becoming more active, thus increasing the chances of the mother feeling those movements. Understanding the timing of fetal movement helps in monitoring fetal well-being and development during the antepartum period.
