From when ru supposed to monitor baby's movements? Early on I'd have some days I'd feel nothing, others I'd feel lots. Now, at 25 weeks I'm not sure whether I should be monitoring movement properly or if it's still to early

I started feeling proper movements with dc1 at about 18 weeks but this time with dc2 not until about 20 weeks. Then I ha periods where baby has been very quiet for a few days. Now at 29 weeks baby is very active again.
Pretty much every time I have monitored it though when I have been worried I have been able to feel something. It's especially hard if you are busy or don't have much time to relax as it just skips your mind.
I would however, start monitoring now just to check you are getting them everyday.

I only really felt mine in the evening up until about 27/28 weeks though!

Monitoring starts at 28w according to the kick chart the mw gave me. I bought a "count the kicks" braclet for about £4 after my twins had a quiet day and I really didn't see how I could work, look after a 3yo and remember to fill in a chart. It was great but I'm having twins and am now 32w+5 so I tend to get 10 kicks by 9am.
