Baby moving

Hi - I am 26 weeks pregnant and still don't feel much movement from my baby. Some days there is a little and other days there is almost nothing. Is this normal? How often are you meant to feel you baby move at this stage?

I believe it can depend where your placenta is,so if it's on the front wall of your womb the baby's movements will be cushioned so you wouldn't feel them as much.
Also some babies are MUCH more active than others so that could be why.
I'm not sure how often you 'should' feel the baby move but you can always phone your midwife for advice.

Thanks. I had an appointment this morning and she said all babies vary and there is nothing to worry about!
