Baby movement

YES. I had that same question for my OB! My baby boy is SUPER active in the morning and at night. She said I only have to do the kick counts like twice a day. They sleep A LOT so having quiet stretches is completely normal!

Mine definitely isn't constantly active. She has her bouts of activity and bouts of rest. My OB hasn't at all suggested kick counting at this point. I'm just asked if I feel her kicking, which I do.

Yes it’s normal, just like when they are born the babies have sleep and wake cycles. The best time to count kicks is when baby is active, it varies by doctor but generally they say at least 10 movements within 1-2 hours when baby is active. When you get to 10 you can stop counting.

Mines was like that a couple weeks ago. Just unusually quiet. Now im 30 weeks and he cant sit still, it become painful. Even since he switched head down hes been more active. Has baby switched yet? It tends to be less movement with lots of sleep time for them right before they do the 360 roll lol

I was told to only worry about kick counting once a day and to choose the time they’re most active. My method is to pick an hour when I can lie down on my side and drink some cold water and that usually does the trick to activate them. Usually this is about 9pm for me each day. Hope that helps!
