How often should I be feeling movement?

Question

Currently 26+2. How often should I be feeling movement? A few weeks ago she moved all the time but she’s been very calm the last few days. Just a kick here and there. Thoughts?

Answer

I would definitely tell your doctor. Anyone on this app can share their experience, but I always tell my doctor about any changes. That being said, I was feeling pretty consistent movement at 26 weeks. At that time, she would have one day a week where she would move less, but most days she kicked and jabbed all the time. I still called my doctor every time she had a “quieter” day. At 26 weeks, the baby is still pretty small and it’s totally possible that he/she has just moved to a position where you can’t feel as much. Still, I would tell your doctor because they know best!

Answer

28 weeks is when you should count kicks !

Answer

At 26 weeks it was very random. By 28 weeks I started feeling him at least once a day.

Answer

You don’t need to count kicks until later. So long as you feel baby moving daily your good.

Answer

23w with an anterior placenta so it varies how frequent I feel baby move. Today I’ve felt quite a bit, other days I only feel her when I’m laying down, right after I eat, or if I lean over and she’s punching me telling me I’m crowding her lol. I’d think as long as you’re feeling some movement you’re okay, but obviously ask your dr to know for sure.
