When should you consistently feel baby move?

Question

I’ll be 20 weeks on Saturday and have been feeling baby move here and there since about 16-17 weeks. Some days I barely notice a thing and other days I notice more. When should I start to feel it consistently and is it currently ok to feel it on and off right now?

Answer

Kick counts don't start until 28w because before then your baby has so much "free-float" space they can easily kick where you don't feel.
Drink something cold or sugary and lay down on your left side, and you should be able to feel something.
And as always, if you're truly worried, call your OB. 💕

Answer

28 weeks 10 movements kicks within one hour

Answer

Around 28 weeks is when you start doing kick counts so I would say then. Later you can kind of notice a pattern to when baby is awake. Like for me, I’m 31+5 and know my baby is usually more awake and active around 10-11 am and again around 5-6pm. I notice little kicks and jerks throughout the day but I can tell that it’s not like those times when she is for sure awake.

Answer

I still don't feel it consistently and I'm 34 weeks. It's never going to be constant because they do sleep in the womb. I feel him at least a few times every hour though. Don't worry about counting movements until you're in the third trimester though
