Hi I'm 21 weeks and towards end of last week could feel lots of movement more so on the evening. Lots of bubbles and light kicks, and been very active all week,

But for last couple of days I've hardly felt any thing is this normal?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It could be that baby has turned round and kicking round the back where you can't feel it as much. think itxs a bit early for counting the kicks. So don't think you need to worry too much at this stage.

this happened to me at 23 weeks baby had turned into me plus have anterior placenta. i took a glass of cold water and bar of chocolate and lay on my left side and tho and behold she started kicking again. 21 weeks is still early to get regular movement. if ur really worried contact mw

I found my little one reacts to cold and heat, really moves around if I'm resting a cool glass on my belly or if I have my hand on my belly. Also becomes very active when my dig lies against my belly. Could try experimenting to see if your baby reacts to different things. They do slow down for a few days sometimes but don't be too alarmed by it. As long as they move every now and then I wouldn't worry too much. But then again if you do get worried or stressed contact your gp/ midwife they will check everything is alright and will let you hear heartbeat to put your mind at ease.

as others said you won't feel kicks if baby's back is against your tummy.

it's normal, but if you are worried see the GP/MW and ask to listen to heart beat.
