Baby movements

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. ☺️

As always if you’re concerned then seek advice but I would say you’re still in the early bracket of having a particularly strong pattern. Just a note - the kick counter is nice but general advice is to note a pattern (as I appreciate you’re trying to do ☺️) and not a number xx

Your doing everything right by noticing when baby moves, there is no set amount that every baby must move, some move more than others, consistency is also down to baby, as i am 26 weeks tomorrow and she is very consistent, but others may not notice any consistency until 28 weeks when you start counting kicks. Xx

This is my second one, so I don’t have much time to monitor this little boy inside me. I would say don’t over think it! I’m sure your mother instinct will tell you quick enough if there is a problem with babies movements x

They say 10 movements in an hour! Pattern is really dependant on what you do, since when you are doing things you might not be as aware.

My midwife said that you don't need to worry about tacking movement until 30 weeks.

Anything before then is just a bonus and enjoy every kick!

She also said that some babies never really get into a pattern.

But check with your own midwife if you're concerned.

I also went to triage a few times when I was pregnant with my daughter way before 30 weeks because I'd noticed changes in movement (nothing ever to be worried about) but if you can't stop thinking about it, give them a call. Puts your mind at ease.
