Kick pattern

When did/does your baby actually start to create a kick pattern? I was told at 24 weeks but I have seen mixed messages about this. I’m 23 weeks and every day I feel as though she has a different pattern so some days I start to worry that she isn’t moving at night but way more in the day (she always moved at night when in bed from 20 weeks) so I never know when I should worry🤣🤣 Thanks 💗

I have heard that they establish a pattern around 28 weeks

I think it's 24 weeks that you should be feeling kicks and from around 28 weeks that baby will be forming a pattern x

My midwife advised baby should have a pattern by 28 weeks. You should feel kicks by 24 weeks but there may be no pattern at that point x

I never had a pattern with my first!

I'm 24 weeks and it's all over the place some days hardly feel her so I worry all day other days she's moving alot!

Midwife told me that at 24 weeks the baby has a lot of room to move around so you won’t have a pattern by then but by 28 weeks their room will be minimal so that’s when a pattern is formed

I’ve felt flutters since 17 weeks and full on movement since about 19. now 21 and still no specific pattern other than lots more movement at night when I’m lying in bed, but can be a little quieter some nights. Or if I’m sat down.

I’m now 25 weeks and have been feeling movement for a while, but still no real consistent pattern. Midwife said to call from 26 weeks to get heartbeat checked / analysed in the case of reduced movement, though I’ve heard it can still be inconsistent until 28 weeks.
