how much movement shoudl i feel at 25 weeks?
Hi ladies,
I'm 24+5 weeks, and haven't really noticed a pattern in my baby's moving! Some days it's really active, and others it's pretty quiet! All weekend it was really active, and yesterday but today I've only had the odd kick here and there! Is this normal at this stage of pregnancy?
I keep reading that you should feel a pattern but when should you feel a pattern? also I'm sure I read somewhere that you shold feel it 6 times in an hour, at what stage does that happen?
Thanks,
C. X

My baby has quite active days but then quieter others, looking at my notes they say I have an anterior placenta, which I know from others on here can stop you feeling alot of movement. I'm just a bit worried that my baby doesn't move enough as even when I would say its active its not 'that' active I dont think, but then this is my first so I have no idea whats normal and whats not, which is more worrying I suppose.
Just wanted to let you know I'm very similiar and at almost exactly the stage. xxxx
Sure your midwife'll agree. We won't be complaining when it really finds its feet elbows & fists
Mine has quiet days when I tend to get a bit worried but I find that lying down makes him move as does drinking coke!

Since 28 weeks its been much more regular. Not so much a pattern but I feel baby most evenings. The movements change. Now its less kicks but more general movement. I can see bits of my belly expand when baby moves!
6 times in a hour is alot of movement. I dont feel that much even now. If you are worried speak to your midwife as each area seems to have a different policy. My midwife just asks if Im feeling movements, she has never asked how many. I dont feel as many movements if I am more active i.e. out shopping.
Hope this helps

Point being, don't worry, as some of the other girls have said, if there is nothing at all for 24 hours go to get it checked, but if it is up and down, I think that is very normal.

Have u spoke to midwife? I'm 23+1 and feel quite a lot but this is my 2nd. With my first I didn't feel much till later on. Maybe worth asking ur midwife for advice x
im 25 weeks and 5day and my babys movements have slowed down also my placenta is at the front and they said because of that it could be why i dont feel baby move around alot .. but ive been hospital all week as i was worried about her movements and they said her heartbeat is normal ive got a CTG on tuesday due to babys movements
Late reply (by a few years!) But thought I'd add as people will keep looking this up. I found something by an OB/GYN (America) saying "After 28 weeks, your baby should move at least 6 times an hour once a day. The baby does not need to move 6 times EVERY hour, but he should have one active hour each day"
