Not feeling a lot of movement

I used to feel him move at the same time every day but now that has seemed to change , is that normal? He's usually a pretty active baby and now he's kinda been moving not so much and it's worrying me . Am I over thinking this ?

    I would say yes, you may be over thinking things. My LO likes to sleep during the day and is active when normal people should be long asleep lol.
    Try drinking some juice and laying on your side for an hour or so. Or lay on your side after dinner time. You should feel your lo move.

    If you're too worried, call your DR for their input. Good luck! :D

    After not feeling baby move as much I had an ultrasound today. She was bent double, with her feet above her head, and it seems to be her preferred position at the moment. Makes sense why I am not feeling kicks, since kicking with your feet above your head would be tough.

    Agree with PP. The juice and then laying still usually works very well. If you are continuing to worry try a kick counter app, follow the instructions of your midwife/ob or the steps in an article like this one:

    This happened to me last week and after 2 days I called my doctor and she told me to go get an ultrasound and baby was perfectly fine but I'm actually loosing weight so she thinks my carb intake is too low and baby was saving energy so we added some carbs and after 1.5 days eating more carbs and sugar she went back to kicking all day.

    Thank you for all your wonderful advice ladies ! I ended up calling the doctor earlier this afternoon and they had me come in and we checked the heartbeat and everything is fine he's still doing okay he's just in a weird position so I wasn't feeling him move around. I felt him earlier tonight after I had eaten dinner and was relaxing on the couch so hopefully he has less of a lazy day tomorrow :D

    I just experienced this today. My baby is very active I'm so used to feeling him a lot, but today was less movements..... I drank cold water and orange and couldn't feel big movements.... After a few minutes I felt slight movements... This is not fun, freaked me out. I was about to drive to the hospital.
