Hiya no you shouldn’t worry it’s normally tracking your movements from 26+ I’m 22 weeks turning 23 and my boy is very active but a a week or so ago he stopped for days then became active again if you are worried call you midwife and see if they can listen to heartbeat or do a reassurance scan that’s what I did hope it helps.

I’d give your midwife a call and just update her just to be sure for your peace of mind. I was the same a few weeks back. They couldn’t have been nicer and there was nothing wrong 💙

I went in for reduced movements at 23+5, but I’d been having huge kicks so it was a drastic change - it’s probably baby just changing their routine but give someone a call for reassurance for yourself, that’s what they’re there for xx

Yeah because his normal active from 7:30 of a night for a little while and then kicks again about 3:30 in the morning x

I find that if my little boy has had a couple of active kicking days he’s quiet for a day or two after (currently 25 weeks). Absolutely hate it and makes me worry but I think it’s completely normal at this stage.
If you are really concerned then it’s always best to get checked out. Either talk to your midwife or get in touch with the maternity unit at your hospital, they can use the doppler to find baby’s heartbeat and make sure all is well, give you peace of mind.
You can also try having something sugary or fruit juice or something like that, never fails to get my little one all riled up 🙈 made the mistake of having a sweet treat before bed last night 🤦🏼‍♀️ he kept waking me up for hours doing a highland jig or something in there 😂 obviously avoid the sugar if you have GD though 😬
