When to count movements

When did you start to feel a regular pattern of movements? I'm 24+2 and still don't have a regular pattern. Some days he kicks and moves loads but then other days I hardly feel any movements! At what point should I start feeling a routine and worrying if there's not much movement?

I'm 24+5 and feel the same. Yesterday hardly any movement and then today esp this afternoon and evening loads of movement.
Yesterday I nearly panicked as I hadn't felt him move as much as I am used to.
I'm seeing gp Wednesday so gonna ask them about it to get some reassurance.

I believe its 28 weeks.

It’s 28 weeks. You’ll be amazed how much regularity you’ll start to notice in the next month!

I was told from 28 onwards I should notice a pattern. So before that, I just kind of made sure I felt a little something very day. Then as time progressed, I tried to make sure I felt something at some points in the day. Usually morning, midday, afternoon and evening. Just to put my mind at rest.

Now I feel something every 2-3 hours. Sometimes a lot more. It might be continuous for a while and then stop. But I check in every 2-3 hours. If I went without movement for more than 4-5 hours, that would be unusual for me- unless I'm very very busy that day. I write down times I feel stuff on my phone, so that I always kind of know and don't panic.

I hope that helps ? At 24 weeks, it doesn't need to have a pattern yet.
