Movement

I feel them kick every day - mostly early morning and in the evening, but they are deffo more active some days compared to others! At my 16 week appointment my midwife said that they’ll be sporadic at this stage then at around 24 weeks the kicks should go into more of a regular pattern so you get used to them. As always, the advice is, if you’re worried, ring the midwife or maternity advice line x

I started feeling more movements last week (20 weeks today) usually around the afternoon & then over the weekend I didn’t feel anything at all. I was at the maternity triage centre yesterday (unrelated) but mentioned it to them anyway & they said it’s too early to have any sort of pattern yet with movement & that although we may feel baby start to move patterns don’t begin to form until about 28+ weeks and to try not worry. They did say though if you’re really concerned to ring your midwife/midwife centre & they can check baby’s heartbeat x

@Olivia ah I may have gotten the 24 weeks thing wrong then!

@Catherine I had heard 24 weeks before as well! I thought 28 weeks sounded about late tbh 🤣🤣 x

I feel really subtle movements like 2/3 times a day xx
