Normal or not?

I'm 16 weeks 2 days pregnant and had been feeling the occasional "flutter" since 15 or so weeks. However the past 2 days I have felt nothing at all. Is this normal ? I know with the my first I didnt feel anything until much later I think I felt my second earlier but this one is my third and I seem to be feeling a lot more worried this time round. Had a private gender scan at 15 weeks 5 days and all was well but like I say the last 2 days I've not felt anything at all no flutters at all. My midwife only works Tuesdays so can't call her and I feel the hospital would just laugh me away and if I can help it I don't want to waste their time when they are so busy and understaffed as it is.

You won't really see a pattern till 24 weeks baby is still really small at 16 weeks so it could be doing summersault in there but have moved position so u can't feel them by all means ring epu before 20 weeks and ask there advise xx

Thanks. Everything I read online says it's normal so hopefully I'm over reacting. If im still worried Friday I will call the maternity assessment unit as far as I know our hospital doesn't have an epu.

Decided to call the day unit at the hospital just to put my mind at ease and the midwife said at 16 weeks you can't tell wether the flutters are really baby moving and not to worry.
