The same thing happened with me around that time too there would be days where my baby was very active and other days when she hardly moved at all. That is normal she/he could be sleeping and or in a comfortable position....Or maybe you are on the run on days you don't notice your babys' movements. I am now 33 weeks pregnant so just know that chances are your baby is fine. If you don't notice any moments and you are still worried then call your doctor and ask them if you can come in and have them use that doppler thing on you to reassure you that your baby is fine. I did that a couple of weeks or more ago and they did because i'm a bit of a worry wort and wanted to be reassured so and they did it for me so they should do that for you too. But before I went in they told me to drink something sweet like pop/soda with caffeine and I did and it got my baby moving so try that.

you should not worry to much just think of it as getting to know your baby. First if you feel no movement at all go to the hospital, if you feel a little something your fine, my son first moved alot, and then I have noticed latly that he is not moving at all hardly. I was 6 months when he started not moving. He would move all day one day and then the next he would chill out. So I begin to think that he just wanted to chill, well then I noticed one night when I did not go to sleep early like I do noramlly, that he was doing all his moving every night starting at like 1 am and not stopping till mourning. And he kicks like hella when his daddy turns up the bass in tha car. So I told my husband he is already a lil party guy.

Dont Worry
Its completly normal
this advice my dr gave me if I feel worried at all about fetal movement, he said to drink a glass of juice or have pepsi/coke and give it max an hour and you will definatly feel ur lil one move if not then their is something wrong. When I went into prelabor with elisa I stopped feeling her move and freaked out so I went to triage and they hooked me up to the monitors, they too were having a hard time so ob gyn on duty gave me a glass of apple juice and christ the kid starting dancing in my tummy lol!!!

I have felt my baby move since about 19 weeks 3 days along. I am now 22 weeks today. My baby usually moves every few hours. Some days it moves a lot. Other days there is only a little movement here and there. I am on my feet a lot with my job. I have noticed that sometimes has an affect on the movement. There is less movement on the days I am on my feet so much. I usually feel the most movement between 8 and 11 pm after I finally get the chance to sit down and relax, or when I go to bed.
