2nd Trimester
how often do you feel your baby move at 23 weeks?
I will be 23 weeks tomorrow and I don't feel the baby move every day. Is
there something wrong with this? I felt him 2 days ago with strong
kicks throughout the day, yesterday was much more calmer, just a few
barely noticeable ones and nothing today.
Also, how does moving and walking affect baby movements? I thought that being active will make baby move more, but just read somewhere otherwise. I was not really active these past days, just laying and sleeping a lot. Thanks.

Movement is supposed to decrease their activity because it rocks them to sleep, as well as makes you less aware of it. That doesn't mean anything is wrong if your baby chills out when you do though- he might just be comfortable and relaxed in there.
It also depends on where the baby is in there- he's still small enough to swim around a bit, and you might feel more or less movement based on his position. That's why kick counts don't start until 28+ weeks.
It all depends on the baby, and you... nobody is the same. However I will say that my OB has told me that movements don't become consistent until the third tri. I?m 26 ? weeks and I feel him every day, mostly when I?m at my desk at work?but I?m not to the point yet where I can say when I get up he?s active for this amount of time. He went through a spurt about 24-25 weeks that he was active ALL the time, and then he slowed down and it freaked me out?but they aren?t worried about it until I?m further along.
Hope that helps ease your mind. They are just little humans in there, some days they like to kick back and relax, and others they like to be active J
The last couple of days I have felt her move everyday. Mostly right when I wake up or when I am trying to go to sleep. She tends to be very active when I am sitting still and relaxing. The week before this one, I hardly felt her at all.
I don't think you have anything to worry about, its still early for daily consistant movement.
I feel him move every day. Some days he is more active than others but overall there hasn't been a day in the last 2 weeks I haven't felt him.
I don't know about the being more active thing but I know that when I drink or eat certain things he becomes more active. He likes ice cold drinks and those normally get him going.
ditto the others - it's not uncommon to not feel movement everyday at this point, probably even moreso that you have an anterior placenta.
I feel her move most days at this point, but some days it's a lot more than others. The other day I think I only felt her once or twice right before I went to bed but then yesterday she was going crazy on and off all day.
