How often should I feel movements at 24 weeks 4days?
I've been to the GP and everything was fine & I do feel baby move but not that much!

I'm 26w. Im starting to feel the movements more frequently but generally when I'm lying down after eating. I even felt him when I was sitting in the car today after eating chocolate. I haven't felt movement in that position before.

I’m also worrying a bit about movement. I’m 22 weeks & 6 days. I have felt him move but not often & it’s not very strong. I did get quite strong flutters around 16 weeks mark. He was breech at 20w scan. I don’t know whether that makes a difference. It does make me anxious at times.

I’m 24 weeks too and only feel movements sporadically. Usually in the evenings. If I go a whole day with none I get worried. But I’ve been assured by my midwife the baby is fine and still quite small so wouldn’t feel all the time yet. Just got to assume everything is ok in there?! X

There is no set amount you "should" feel at 24 weeks. Some women only just started feeling their baby move at that point while others may have felt movement from 14 weeks.

You just have to tune in to what is normal for you and your baby. Have a look at the kicks count website.
Oh and dont be worried about wasting someone's time if you do have a concern. Phone your midwife or hospital pregnancy unit though, rather than your GP
