When do you worry about reduced movements?

Hello
20 weeks and only just started feeling movements. went from feeling nothing to having 2 very active days of lots of pops and mini kicks. On the third day though I haven't felt anything again. I presume that maybe the movements are just starting and so perhaps it's okay that I've stopped feeling things while he is still getting big enough to feel (?) but I just wanted to check in as to what you think and when I should be worrying about feeling him or not? especially as I had those 2 days recently where it felt like he was moving all the time? Thank you

(Ps only found out yesterday it's a boy so it feels very exciting to be writing 'he' rather than it!)

Usually they don’t ask you to track it until after 24 - 25 weeks as baby is still so small but ring midwife if you are concerned

My midwife told me they don’t count it until 27 weeks.

I had it about 22/23 weeks where I didn’t feel him one day & I phoned the mau, they told me they weren’t concerned at this stage and to drink a cold drink and lie in a dark room on my side for 2 hours.

Maybe try that? I personally feel him better when I’m lying on my back after eating something.?

Lovely thank you both. Will wait another few weeks then before reading too much into it :)
