Anyone with a specific movement pattern yet?

I'm 22+5 with a low lying anterior placenta n noticed between 8.30pm and 9.30pm when lying down little munchkin has a little 'tummy time' noticeably moving n kicking a tad. I feel them in the day too at work when sat down but just inconsistent flutters. How often are we expecting movement at this stage to form a pattern? The Internet is driving me crazy with all the stuff on 'if you have reduced/changed movement see your midwife/maternity unit' but are they supposed to be in a fixed pattern yet? Ive read about most apparently moving before /after food/sugary things but not noticed this personally yet. Feel like I've become the crazy obsessed lady already. Could they just be kicking backwards n me not feel it? šŸ¤”šŸ˜‚šŸ«£šŸ‘€

Iā€™m 23+1 with an anterior low lying placenta and feel nothing still if that makes you feel any better! Apparently it can come between 26-28 weeks so Iā€™m holding on for that

My baba wriggles throughout the day, mostly during/ after meals. Then if Iā€™m sat down in the afternoon Iā€™ll notice her kicking. But itā€™s the evening when she really goes for itšŸ˜… Iā€™ve been in a few times for reduced movements because that day she just hasnā€™t moved as much as normal. They said that even if itā€™s too early for her to be in a pattern, if Iā€™m not getting as much movement as normal itā€™s ok to go down to be checked

I canā€™t really say I ever had any patterns with my first it was kinda of if I didnā€™t notice feeling after a few hours Iā€™d poke and usually she would move šŸ˜…. Canā€™t really say there was ever set times. This one has been feeling earlier but I think thatā€™s more down to placenta being in a different place.

Patterns donā€™t fully form until 3rd trimester or there abouts. At this stage you may have a pattern for a wee bit then itā€™ll change so canā€™t say itā€™s a consistent pattern. I know I have a very active baby who moves most of the day, only time I donā€™t really feel him is when Iā€™m walking or just super busy. I do notice though that heā€™s more active at night. He was more active in the mornings but this has changed. Iā€™d just say, if youā€™ve been feeling baby for a while and then suddenly go a day without it then get checked. Or having something cold and really sugary, If baby isnā€™t moving within an hour or so then phone them. Itā€™s so hard because weā€™re told patterns donā€™t form till later so we canā€™t be concerned later which isnā€™t correct. I went in early with my first with reduced movement and she started going mental when I got there šŸ˜‚ sometimes itā€™s just needed for your piece of mind and to get baby moving cause 9 times out of 10 they make you feel silly and start moving there šŸ˜‚ x

All day even at night šŸ˜…

Iā€™m 22 weeks and have a very active baby , I would say I have noticed certain times or patterns mainly when I eat but some days are quieter. I did ask my midwife about reduced movements on the quieter days I had and she reassured me that at this stage as long as you feel any movement within the day that is fine.

All of the advice says thereā€™s no specific number of movements it is just what feels normal for your baby. I think itā€™s more about trusting your instinct- you will know if it feels like itā€™s been too long without any movement. That said itā€™s still early yet. With my first even in third trimester the only ā€˜patternā€™ I could tell you is he was most active between 9pm and midnight and I never felt movement when I was driving. The movements throughout the day would depend on what I was doing. Iā€™m not sure he particularly moved more after having something sugary but he might have moved more after a big meal. He did move a lot if I had a bath. He was always active enough that I didnā€™t ever feel concerned about his movements. With this current baby again he is more active in the evening by far and he seems to move around a lot when I read to my toddler but otherwise I canā€™t work out any other patterns yet.

Iā€™m 24 weeks and she is still random, throughout the day. The only way Iā€™d know to be worried is if I didnā€™t feel anything for a full day. Although if I rest my hands on my belly or my phone or my laptop etc, she kicks it so hard almost as if itā€™s annoying her so I feel like if I was worried Iā€™d just do that to see a reaction

At the moment, donā€™t google or focus to much on the ā€œnormalā€ as everyone is different. Iā€™m 23+5, I feel movement throughout different times of day and evening, no pattern. If you felt movement everyday for a week then had a few days where you didnā€™t feel anything at all, I would class as reduced movement and would call triage, but if you are feeling baby at different times of day, take that as reassurance, you can feel baby and itā€™s telling you itā€™s okay! šŸ˜Š enjoy feeling baby xx

Iā€™m 23 weeks today & notice little man is more active at night especially 3am šŸ˜“ but Iā€™ve had days where heā€™s more quieter or his kicks arenā€™t as strong which worries me but I think as long as we are feeling something throughout the day at this stage x

My baby wiggles about when Iā€™m waking up, any time Iā€™m about to eat a meal. She also seemingly gets very active if my husband talks or when Iā€™m playing a video game šŸ˜… All in all, sheā€™s very active!
