Oooh. You're still early. You don't start kick counts until 28 weeks. It's not surprising you don't feel consistent movement. Doctors aren't actually concerned about it until 28+ weeks, because baby still is very tiny and has tons of room to hide in there.

I'm almost 6 months 23 weeks yeah he moves a lot. So how long should I do kick counts for ??

[Clysta]

Well that depends on how far along you are, and what's normal. For example, up till I delivered I would maybe feel my baby 10 times a day. I even went 2 days with no movement. That was normal for her, and wasn't cause for concern. She was just lazy in the womb. If your baby is one that moves often then you should go in after a day or so. Things to try if it happens would be to drink/eat something super sugary and lie on your left side and see if movement happens. You don't want to move when you're trying to count kicks because it lulls baby and often puts them to sleep. How many weeks are you?

How long as it been? And are you feeling ANY movement? Also, how far along are you, and is this your first child or not.
