Regular movements

I'm close to 21 weeks and have been feeling baby movements but they seem to have tailed off a bit. They don't feel quite as strong. Just had 20 week scan, baby is healthy with a strong heartbeat.

When should I start to feel regular movements?

Some places say 24 weeks, some say 28.

I started monitoring from 24 weeks.

Thank you Stephisau, I wasn't sure if I should be concerned this early on or not

I’m 23+1 and would say I’ve been getting regular movements for the past 5-6 days.

Thank you. I think I'm feeling them just as often but they don't seem as strong and wondering if maybe the baby moving position would cause that

I am the exact same as you. Had my 20 week scan last Thursday and all looked good. Thursday night I had definite big movements which was so lovely. But since then, hardly anything!
I started googling this tonight and I'm not too worried. Apparently baby still has loads of room in there and can hide out in places you are less like to feel movement from.
My next midwife appointment is 9th Jan, where I'm assuming they will check heartbeat and give advice on when to track movements.
In general I think it's still to early to be getting worried about reduced movement.
