How often or how many movements should i feel at 23 weeks?

Question

Baby boy is normally pretty active at night and in the mornings and usually after I eat. But yesterday and today he’s been kind of shy I guess. I’m not sure when I need to worry. I’ve been feeling him, but no where near and strong or as much as usual. I did count kicks yesterday and felt 10 in an hour, but like I said, small taps. Just wondering if and when I should worry!

Answer

You don’t need to count kicks this early. It’s going to be pretty inconsistent at this point. Some days baby will be super active and some days not so much. Usually you don’t start tracking and counting kicks until about 32 weeks

Answer

No consistent movements until like 28 weeks I think it is

Answer

She's right! 28 weeks. He's probably just tired or in a funny little position. Don't worry about kick counts.

Answer

My doc said just to make sure, I feel baby move at least once a day. (I have monthly phone consults due to this virus, and I was also asked to weight myself, take blood pressure, and call, if I feel the need).
I do feel him best when I am lieing down flat. But by now 24+ weeks I feel. Him also when I am a bit too crunched, like sitting in a car.

Answer

As long as you can still feel baby moving thats the main thing. I’m 24 weeks now and sometimes I feel her loads and really hard kicks and other times it feels like flutters and very faint xx

Answer

Sometimes I feel a lot! Sometimes I just feel little thumps 🤷🏻‍♀️ as long as I feel something everyday I’m not worried 💙

Answer

30 weeks you start kick counts

Answer

I wish I could feel some kicks a lot lol. It’s so rare for me. I have an anterior placenta, so I’m just happy I feel anything at all when I do. Mine are so random when I can feel her.
