How often should you feel your baby move at 21 weeks?

I have a anterior placenta and didn't really feel any definite movement until around 24/25 weeks.

There isn't really a 'should' at that stage as they can tuck themselves up into corners, kick inwards and then you won't feel it, movements were very sporadic for me at that stage last time. Regular movements should be felt from 27 weeks, some people earlier though

I didn’t get regular movements without days of not feeling anything until 30 weeks. At 21 weeks I only just started feeling movement and I’d feel lots for a few days then have a few days of it being still. By about 26 weeks I got more nervous about the still days and got checked a couple times but all good. At 21 weeks they’re very small and depends what position they’re in as to why you’ll feel.

I'm 20 weeks and have started to feel baby move but not much. It's mainly in the evening or right before going to bed when I'm sat relaxing. A couple of thuds and kicks. Every now and then I have felt them a tiny bit during the day. But there isn't a pattern as such I don't think until a few more weeks in.

I was feeling flutters at this point (posterior placenta) But it was so up and down and there would often be days when I barely felt anything. Now at 27 weeks I'm feeling stronger movements every day. There is a reason they say to worry about movements at 26-28 weeks, as its unlikely baby will have established a pattern earlier than that.
