decreased movement?

[TryinFor1]

I am only 20 weeks so I know this is probably normal but looking for reassurance!

Lo was an active little girl all day last Wednesday, not very much Thursday or Friday, was Friday night and wasn't yesterday. She has been moving today but it's so slight and barely as much as she has been. I know she still has plenty of room and I honestly think she might have moved a little because she has been kicking my stomach but the movements I have felt today are lower, in my pelvis and I have felt her hit my cervix.

I have put her under some stress (was in emergency room Friday night), so dunno if that would have any affect (effect? Lol). I had an ultrasound there and she was perfect. Her heartbeat what slightly slower at 127-132 than her normal 140 but I also had morphine and it can slightly lower their heartbeat. I also read they can not move as much during growing? I did the whole drink something cold and eat something already. she moved, but barely.

I guess I am just worried because she was moving a ton for days and has now barely moved for a few days. Just looking for reassurance and maybe similar stories?

Thanks ladies!

Sorry no similar story but it does seem plausible that she has hit a growth spurt and can't move as much. She could have flipped too. But keep in mind that your doc or me won't ask for kick counts until thrid trimester so its normal to have longer periods between movements right now.

I am sure it happened with my son, I just can't remember! Thanks for responding!

I am sure your LO is just fine in there Some days babies are more active than others, especially during a growth spurt. I know we don't start counting kicks till closer to 30 weeks, so try not to stress to much about it, as stress isn't good for baby! But if you are still concerned in a few days, there's no harm in visiting your dr to make sure everything okay!

Try not to worry, Babies are still super inconsistent with movements right now. I went almost 2 weeks feeling nothing after he was super active. I'm 21 weeks and he's slowly getting back to being more and more active. Still not an all day thing but every few hours I get little kicks. My DH even got to feel him the other day for the first time.
Maybe she's going through a growth spurt which Is what I'm assuming my LO was doing when I had no movement for 2 weeks.
Also I was told not to worry about the HB slowing as long as its still in the normal range, my baby was always super high 150's-160's and I went to the ER for some spotting and his HB dropped to 153 then at my 20 week scan it dropped down to 140 something. A lot can effect the HB, if they are sleeping or awake. If you've had caffeine ect. I'm sure she's just great
