25 weeks movement

hi all

I am 25 weeks. Between 20 weeks and now I ahve had probably only 4 incidnets of feeling the baby move fairly vigorously. The rest of the time, I am lucky to feel a tiny movement, once every few days. I ahve an anterior placenta, and have been checked by the GP and Midwife plenty of times and told all is fine and not to worry.

So of course I am worrying myself a fair bit! I guess my main concern is that i have felt the baby; i know I am physically able, so why am I not feeling her more often?

I cant ring the GP or midwife again as they will think i am crazy. Anyone able to share any experience?

Have you tried the tricks like ice cold drinks? I too have an anterior placenta and about a month ago her movements felt much smaller. Had a scan at 26weeks, saw her wriggling non stop and I could barely feel it. Now 29+2 and my tummy bounces up and down really bizarrely much more often now. Don't worry

I am 23 weeks and I also feel very little. Any rumbles I do feel are very low down just above my pubic bone and I wonder if some of these are just wind!
It did however make me feel slightly better when as firstone said during the scan I could see lots of movement but felt nothing.
