Change in movements - 23 weeks

Hi everyone, I'm 23 weeks pregnant - I've felt the baby move since around 18 weeks but over the last week his movements have changed and are less strong and less often. I saw my midwife on Wednesday and she checked his heartbeat with a doppler and it was fine, and I could hear him shuffling around on the doppler but I couldn't feel a lot. I lost a baby at 19 weeks last year and so am super paranoid and wondering if I should go to the drs to get checked out for a scan?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I’ve been told all the way through my pregnancy that if I’m even slightly worried about movements to contact triage. Hopefully they can put your mind at rest xx

Where's your placenta op?
As pp any change I was told to ring MAU.

Thanks everyone! I ended up going to the maternity unit and they checked the baby was ok - he is fine, just not moving a lot but it's really hot and humid where I live at the moment so they think that might be slowing him down a bit.
