The medical term for this phenomenon is 'quickening' and it is regarded as one of the major milestones of pregnancy. From about the 12th week of pregnancy, the uterus moves up out of the pelvic cavity and continues to enlarge at a regular rate so that it reaches the umbilicus (belly-button) by around week 22.

But as your baby grows -- usually by the end of the second trimester -- the kicks should grow stronger and more frequent. Studies show that by the third trimester, the baby moves about 30 times each hour. Babies tend to move more at certain times of the day as they alternate between alertness and sleep.

The fetal pole grows at a rate of about 1 mm a day, starting at the 6th week of gestational age. Thus, a simple way to "date" an early pregnancy is to add the length of the fetus (in mm) to 6 weeks. Using this method, a fetal pole measuring 5 mm would have a gestational age of 6 weeks and 5 days.
