Can you feel baby moving on the outside, but not inside?

I wrote about how my baby had cut back drastically on her movement. Now, I believe she has just moved up and it is *impossible* for me to feel her from the inside! I called the doctor yesterday and they had me feeling for her to poke and push and see if I got a response... Well, to be honest, I had no clue what I was searching for for sure... I'd think, maybe this is Kadie, but maybe this is something else and I am being stupid. So I went to my mom's and layed down and she helped show me what I was feeling for. Well, when we started pressing lightly, she started moving quite a bit. And I could feel her moving on the outside, but unless I had my hand there I would have felt absolutely nothing! When I feel her move, I feel easily on the bottom on the inside, but very very rarely do I feel it on the inside when it is up high. After about 10 minutes of pressing and Kadie pressing back, she started moving big enough that I could feel it a few of times on the inside..  I have an appointment Friday and am definitely going to ask if this is normal when I go, but I was just wondering if any of ya'll have the same issue? Because until I figured out she really WAS moving and I just didn't feel it, I was constantly stressed!

I can always feel baby on inside and out.

DH and others swear they feel baby move, when I feel nothing.........so I guess it's possible to feel movement outside and not in.

Maybe Iris needs to read this one too since you can't ask one question about movement patterns without it being completely taken out of context and requiring a lecture on how to call if movement stops!
