Abstract
Normal human fetal movements during the first 25 weeks of gestation have generally been overlooked. The beginnings of fetal activities have in the main been regarded as chaotic and disorganized, and as such not worthy of detailed investigation. In reality, fetal movements during the first 25 weeks of pregnancy are simply organized differently to those in later periods, and are in any case functional to the various stages of development of that time span. However, quite apart from the neglect suffered by this specific period, all research on human fetal movements seems to have come to a standstill in recent years, whilst myths surrounding our first movements have flourished.
