Kicking.. then no kicking??!!

So I have felt my little guy moving and kicking now for at least 3 weeks.  He is usually very active.  Although, today he has decided he doesn't want to kick.  I haven't really felt much moving at all today.  Because of my past I worry about everything.  But is no moving for a day normal???  I know you don't do kick counts until 30+ weeks.  Am I freakin out for nothing??

    My OB said I should feel some movement everyday, but not always the same amount.  If you have felt some movement, I think you are ok.  If you have felt no movement, I would call the doctor.

    I think  you're fine. I had this on Saturday and was worrying myself (even though, like you, I know kick counts don't start till around 28w) but yesterday and today the baby is kicking like crazy. Today is actually the most movement I have ever felt.

    I had the same thing happen last week.  Very active one day and the next hardly feel him.  I think it's normal to freak out.  If you haven't felt the baby at all for a day or two, then I would call the dr.

    Some days will be more active than others.  Also, if you were more active today, it might be more difficult for you to feel movement.

    Normal. Your baby may have rolled over and could be facing your back. This would make movement much harder to detect.

    This is such a weird feeling, kicking your own butt from the inside.

    Yeah I am feeling little movements but not kicking.  I can tell where his hands are because his head is so low and they are little tiny flutters... but usually I feel his feet but nothing with the feet today.

    I heard that drinking something like cranberry juice can get the baby to be active.  I'm sure you're fine, but you may want to try something like that to calm your nerves.
