I've started feeling baby move but some days I feel him a lot other days I feel him not much or not at all. It's only been the last week (maybe less) that I've started feeling him . When will I be able too feel him more?

Congrats @francesca745 ! It's such a lovely time when you start to feel them wriggling ☺️
How many weeks are you now?
I'm currently 27weeks with my first and started to feel her about 17weeks. Very similarly, some days loads then nothing for days. By week 21/22 I could feel her every day, and some of them were strong kicks that you could see my belly move! But definitely not pattern in the movements. Some days more movement than others.
Week 24 was probably about when I started to feel a pattern in her movement and the kicks got super strong!
It's completely different for everyone of course. Depending on what I'm doing will depend on if I feel movement too. I've only recently started feeling her kick if I'm walking for example.
My friend who is 23 weeks has only felt the odd kick.
The moves will come, and you'll love them when they are regular ☺️ although im not a massive fan of foot under rib kicks 😂

Also depends where the placenta is. Both my DSs were anterior and I therefore felt much less (I’m told) that had they not been.

This has made me feel so good :) I'm 20 weeks I've felt movement for about a week now sometimes kicks sometimes like he's moving in my tummy but I've noticed never in the morning 😂 (just like mummy). He's active on scans so I know he's deffo moving and checked heartbeat yesturday due too monitoring for pre eclampsia (my bp was high due too anxiety and it went normal again). I'm hoping I feel more soon but he's sometimes sooo active , I've been told I have an anterior placenta but also right lateral so I'm not really sure as the scans were a day apart
