Wonderfully, you're right, it's likely he's shifted position so movements are less intense. Particularly as I can still feel him, it's just almost like the movements are muted rather than strong and powerful as they were yesterday. I need to call my midwife tomorrow anyway to book my 24 week appointment so will mention it then if movements are still subtle.
Hi Rae! They sound like movements, yes. This is my first pregnancy too but for some reason I've had movement since about week 18. They began as flutters, popping and almost like a muscle twitch initially but have now developed to mostly proper kicks and prods, with the odd somersault sensation that makes me feel seasick. I can feel him easily now from the outside and on particularly active days I can see my tummy moving from the outside! Such wonderful, magical moments but then punctuated by days like today where I'm more back to flutters and popping, which brings with it anxiety that's he's not as alert as the day before! He has done this before though and as you say, movement patterns aren't established yet so it's normal to have long periods of not feeling as much. It's such a rollercoaster of emotion! I'd be happy to feel constant, all day and night wriggling so as not to worry!
