At 17 weeks I don't think there is a minumum per day.  The baby is still so small there will be days you feel it alot and days you really don't feel it at all.  I didn't feel my first baby move until I was about 22 or 23 weeks.  At 17 weeks with this baby, I think I felt her move maybe 3 or 4 times a day, usually when I was still and probably more likely to notice it.

I think at this point as long as you are feeling your baby move occasionally through the day, everything is fine.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking. Are you asking if the 10-12 fetal movements are a minimum? If so, yes. Most babies move almost constantly with very obvious rest periods in between. Any movement counts (roll, punch, kick, jab, etc.).
