Reduced movements at 20 weeks :(

[stephx]

I know im probally worrying over nothing... But ive not been feeling hardly any movement over the last few days

Baby used to kick loads at night and a bit around lunchtime but now I only get like 2-3 kicks a day?

Is it normal to sort of go quiet for a few days and then pick up again? Or will should I be worried?

Thanks

Thats been happening to me. I would get tons of actions then nothing for a couple days. I don't think you need to worry. My MW said not to expect the movements to become regular until 22-24 weeks. I still have days where I don't feel anything, though those are now getting to be quite rare!
Try not to worry! Its probably bubs hiding or kicking in areas you can't feel!

My MW just told me yesterday not to be concerned over reduced movements at this stage as lo is still so little.

I've noticed this lately too, I'm trying not to worry about it but it's tough.
I'm sure it's ok though.

I had that too...the doctor said that even at 24 weeks the baby has a lot of room to move around. She then showed me on the US that she was playing with her toes and moving and I couldn't feel a thing. She said around 28 weeks I should start counting kicks per hour. Until then don't really worry about it. (Easier said then done, I know I still worry)

I too heard that it's around 28 weeks you really start monitoring movements. Might be worth to check with your midwife though, see what she says. Sure they will tell you when's the right time to start monitoring. Once the kicks start though, it is hard to not worry when you don't feel anything for a while! x

Me too! I've noticed less movement the past few days also. It's very worrisome especially since I don't remember this with DD or DS. Once I felt them move it only got stronger. I'm sure we're all fine.
