20 weeks. How often should you feel baby move?

I'm 20 weeks (scan on Tuesday) and my movements are very on/off. I have been feeling movement for a while now.

I would have movement all day and then nothing for days. Feels like the gap between feeling mobile and nothing gets longer and longer.

Is this normal or at what point do you feel movement every day?

I was on progestorone until week 16 and eased off this.

It's very early yet,lots of women won't have felt any movement at all at 20 weeks. If you're worried get it checked out though,better to be safe.

First baby I didn't feel anything until around 26/27 weeks

On/off is very normal at this stage. It's later in when it graduates to "at least once a day" then to "in a regular pattern"

It’s very normal to take up to 24 weeks to feel any movement at all. Midwives will ask you to monitor movements from 28 weeks

Very sporadically for me at 20 weeks with my second pregnancy. With the first, I felt nothing for several more weeks.

I only started feeling movement every day at about 24 weeks. NHS advice is you'll have a regular pattern by about 28-32 weeks

I am 26 weeks and only started feeling a little flutters around week 24. First baby.
