movement

[jjbuttons]

Hello

This is no2 and im nearly 18 weeks- been starting to feel some movement on and off this week but wondering when to start "counting the kicks" i have anterior placenta so probably makes it difficult at this stage to feel constant movement??

many thanks

I think it's still a few more weeks before we can expect the movement to have a pattern.
I'm also 17+ weeks with an anterior placenta and I have felt some popping since 14 weeks. It hasn't been getting any stronger yet, and it's very infrequent. I can go long periods, even days without feeling anything that I know for certain to be the baby. I would think maybe around 22-24 weeks the movements should be more frequent or at least daily, and maybe 26/27+ should have more of a pattern to them, ie. certain amount per hour or something like that.
