I’m 24 weeks today and I’m struggling to work out a pattern with my baby’s movements!
I can feel them move, more at night and not a lot when I’m working, but I’m not sure what the right amount is.
Is there a knack to it that I’m missing or am I still too early for them to be consistent?
I downloaded the kick counter app but I’m not very good at logging things 🙈

I don’t think you need to worry about a movement pattern until 3rd trimester! Because some people don’t even start feeing them till 24 weeks x

I’m 24 weeks and 5 days, I haven’t started tracking movement as some days I’m more active so baby is less, then some days I do nothing and there going crazy all day and night.
Im roughly just trying to work out times in the morning/ afternoon for now, as long as there kicking during the day when your rested there okay xx

I think you need to start noticing a pattern between 26-28 weeks and you won’t be able to feel them move as much when your working if your active because when you’ve moving about your body is basically rocking the baby to sleep and that’s why they are more active at night when your relaxing so try not to worry x

I am 23 weeks with anterior placenta so feel things occasionally and more to the "outskirts" of where the placenta will be, so lower around the bladder or sideways from my belly button. I feel baby occasionally when I wake up and when I'm going to bed or watching TV at night, mostly when I rest. I do feel them sometimes after I eat, maybe belly gurgles wake them up. Definitely not big enough yet and established to count kicks for me.

Moving puts them to sleep. If you're active they're more likely to sleep. Also I think and as per the books I've read and as per my midwife, the movement pattern from 3rd trimester is what needs to be monitored. ☺️
