Hi there, I am 30w pg today and I was always worried about my baby's movememt and sometimes still am. I didn't start feeling movement until about 21 weeks, and even then i would feel a flutter one day and then none for a week. I didn't feel movement every day until I was about 25 weeks, but it still wasn't that regular, somedays only one or two kicks. It wasn't until about 27-28 weeks that the movement became some what regular, usually 10 or more kicks every 4 hours. Most of the books say 10 kicks every hour but my obgyn did not agree with that. Anyhow try to relax for now ever though it can be hard, I hope this info helped.
