Why am I not feeling movements?

I'm 23 weeks today, I've felt ONE movement about 10 days ago and nothing since. Is this normal?! Google tells me I should have felt much more than that by this stage.

No i wouldn't say that was normal, but everyone is different. I would phone the midwife ASAP and tell them that you have only felt baby move once

Do you have an anterior placenta. I do and am nearly 23 weeks and haven't felt very much at all. I've read it can be common to not feel much before about 24 weeks with an anterior placenta. I remember in my last pregnancy I was feeling movement all the time at this stage so have found it a bit worrying.
Call the midwife if you are concerned though, I'm sure they would see you asap

Yes anterior placenta, I may phone them in the morning if baby doesn't make any movements today. Thank you

Seconding the comment about the anterior placenta - if you have a look at your 20 week scan report, it should say where your placenta is. If it's posterior, call the midwife right away. If it's anterior, give it another week and if you're not starting to feel movements every day, call the midwife. Hope all is ok OP.

Cross post! Glad to hear it's anterior
