My wife is 23 weeks pregnant, and we have felt lots of movement from the baby over the past 3 weeks, but we have not felt the baby move the last 2 days - is this normal or should we be getting checked out?

I am 35 weeks and sometime my baby doesn't move either. I get so scared. I go to the hospital just to make sure that he is ok. When i went one time, im glad i did because his heartbeat dropped. They were able to get it back up. I wouldn't have known if i didn't go. I was told that my placenta is high, so sometimes if he kicks or moves i don't feel him. I was told to eat something, and then lay on my left side and count the kicks. You are suppose to feel 4 kicks within the hr. If u feel two, recount again the next hr starting over. If u don't feel anything go to the emergency just to be on the safe side. I would rather go to the emergency room and sit there all night then to find out later that something may be wrong.

No, it's not normal to feel NO movement. Even decreasing movements can indicate a potential cord compression or other fetal compromise. Didn't your doctor tell you about kick counts? You should count about 10 movements each hour baby is awake. Sometimes baby is sleeping, so to check that have your wife drink some orange juice and lie down for awhile, usually baby wakes up and moves around. Sometimes poking baby will wake him/her up also, if you can nudge a foot or a knee with your hand.
However, if you have not felt the baby move at ALL the last 2 days, especially not even small movements, get to the L&D unit of your hospital now!

Eek! I'm kinda in the same boat as you but I'm only 17 weeks along. Apparently it can depend on how the placenta is positioned and how the baby is positioned too. All I know is that if the babys heartbeat is good and the ultrrasounds are going good then you are in for a healthy bub :) Hopefully you will feel movement pretty soon, I'm sure everything is alright :) Besides I think it's up to 24 weeks is normal to not feel movement for a first pregnancy?

This could be a period of inactivity, but its worth having checked out immediately. Rather be safe than sorry. I lost a baby who had not moved and I was told not to worry, but in the end I miscarried after a week and was told the baby had been dead for a few days. DON'T HESITATE OR IT MAY BE TOO LATE!!!

I think you should go to the doctor with your wife ASAP. When I was 37 weeks pregnant my son only kicked two times in a day and I knew that something wasnt right, My doctor told me to go to the ER and 2 days later I had to have an emergency c-section cause the umbilical cord was wrapped around him (he was ok and so was I). That doesnt seem right especially since she is used to feeling the baby move alot. Go ask for an ultrasound to make that the babys development is ok. Best wishes

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/a276e

Yes it is normal as the space in your tummy is getting smaller for a growing baby, but saying that I would make an appointment with your GP ASAP just to reassure yourself you may be worrying for nothing but its better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck.

Get it checked to put your mind at rest, your GP should have a doppler at the surgery. But its probably something minor like its sleeping or conserving its energy for something.
Also is your wife eating less at the moment due to a stomach upset or anything? this can also be a facotr, babies ususally have somersaults after a big meal for the mummy.
