When do baby movement patterns become reliable

Hi all, just wondered at what stage does a usual pattern of movement form? I am thinking maybe more in the 3rd trimester when baby is bigger?!
This is my 2nd baby, I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant, I don’t have an anterior placenta and first felt movement around 15 weeks.
I remember my first baby moving a lot however this baby seems much quieter in there and goes for long stretches where I can’t feel so much movement, just the odd tap or kick every now and then. There’s an odd time it’s very active and then I get nothing for ages and much less stronger movement. I can’t seem to identify a usual pattern of movement yet. There’s certain things that usually seem to make baby move like eating or drinking but on the whole it’s nothing like the movements of my first baby.

They say movements become more regular and a pattern establishes in third trimester.. but my baby hasn't got a pattern till now, I am 32+3.. one week, she moves more during the day and the other during the night.. some days she kicks like a ninja and others hardly anything.. have been to day assessment unit thrice for reduced fetal movements.. you just need to contact your mw if anything feels odd!
