Hi, I’m just turning 24 weeks and I feel like my baby isn’t kicking as much. They’re still moving, I feel them. But I’ve been under a lot of stress the past several weeks and am worried I’m causing my baby distress 😞 my doula said not to count kicks until 30 weeks. Is this normal? Some days baby is active other days it’s like nobody is home?

Same thing happens to me around 23 weeks kicks were reduced but they just started picking back up im 27 weeks now my ob said not to count kicks also

yeah i went to the er once recently and they said they arent concerned about daily fetal movement until 28-30ish weeks and that they wouldnt be able to do very much for me/my concerns if i came in before that timeframe for that

I'm 25 weeks and I still have quiet days, some days I feel him every couple hours and other days I feel him once for the whole day - OB says it's completely normal depending on baby's position at this point. I feel ya that it's super hard not to stress about it though!
Thanks you guys! 🩷💙

I’m 25 weeks and same thing, some days/times I feel baby a ton and other times Jim very little or slight movements. It’s still pretty early for anything consistent, but if you need to put your mind at rest sometimes I’ll do something that ik baby reacts or moves to. Like if I hold my phone flashlight to belly he’ll normally roll around away from it or bump it.
