Fetal movements: baseline habits and warning signs

When movement usually starts

Many feel flutters weeks 18–22¹²; earlier movements may be harder to notice³.

Baseline vs formal counting

Learn daily patterns first²; formal counting follows local protocol in late pregnancy¹³.

When to call

Same-day contact for clear decrease, absent usual active period, or red flags¹².

Seven-day baseline habit

Note three usual active periods without kick counts — compare later against your normal².

How Levvi can help

Log patterns and use contraction timer when needed.

Frequently asked questions

Is ten kicks mandatory? Only if your team requests it.

Very active baby? Usually fine — discuss sudden change.
