24 weeks movement

I'm 24 weeks pregnant, anterior placenta. I've attached a screenshot of my baby's movements for the last 2 weeks. Would it worry you that it appears to have reduced the last few days? I have been busier/more active than normal so maybe I just haven't noticed some movement? I also know that I can't really track it properly til 28 weeks. However, I am quite anxious about this pregnancy and that may be clouding my judgement somewhat.

I am week 26 with anterior placenta. I often don't notice baby' s movement when it is loud around me or I am busy. Go to triage if you feel worried

I’m 25 weeks with anterior placenta and I definitely have days where there is very little movement as baby is tucked away. Especially so if I’m busy and distracted. They say as long as you feel baby once a day before 28 weeks it’s fine. I’d honestly stop tracking movement until 28 weeks as you will constantly be anxious and that’s no good to you or baby. If you are worried then go to the hospital or speak to your midwife but I’m not sure how proactive they’ll be as you are still feeling movement every day.

@HopefulllHolly thank you, that's really helpful. I didn't know that about feeling them once a day. I'll definitely chill out abit then! ☺️

@meltedchocolateandstrawberries Sending hugs. I know how horrible pregnancy anxiety can be! Mines an ivf baby we tried for many years for and I’ve only just started relaxing a little - I’ve been anxious about everything up until now.
I don’t know if it makes you feel better but some days I only feel baby once or twice and others I feel her constantly.
But like I say - if you are really worrying then there’s no harm in going to the hospital or seeing your midwife to check the heart rate or something ☺️
