Hi I'm sure this has been asked a lot but I'm very anxious in this pregnancy after a few losses.
On and off over last few days I've felt the flutters and butterflies of the baby moving etc not all the time but at least once a day.
I have a posterior placenta so been told I may feel things earlier.

My question is should I be concerned if I don't feel the flutters EVERY day at this stage or should I be feeling it every day ?
I've read some people say off and on til 24 weeks 🥺
Thankyou x

Perfectly normal not to feel them every day, or even at all at 17/18 weeks. This is my second pregnancy so I know what movement feels like and I also have a posterior placenta. Ive only felt movements this past week and it's only been every other day ish. (I'm 17 weeks) The movements are so easy to miss as well. If I have a busy day I definitely don't feel anything.
It will get stronger and develop a pattern over the next few weeks 🙂
