yes. the baby is getting bigger so its not gonna have as much room to move around as before. its movement is getting very limited now and is trying to get comfortable (lol honestly!) after it gets situated im sure you will be feeling the movement once again, but even stronger than before! congrats and good luck! ^_^

get checked out to be sure, but they do start moving less as room is restricted. but you should be feeling some sharp kicks and stuff.
Try laying down on your back and have a icy cold drink of something fizzy preferrably. Wait anything up to an hour and if still not one moment then call the midwife. If you feel a succession of movement and then nothing for an hour bubs could be sleeping. and keep a chart of each time they kick for midwives to have a look at(3pm kick, 3.55pm kick etc....)
Overall though, if baby is moving sometimes then that should be entirely normal!

Sometimes like the person above me said the baby may have changed positions on you and you just may not be feeling it as much. If you are really busy during the day it may be moving and you may just not be paying that much attention to it. It you are worried about it call your doctor and let them know how you are feeling. They will not think you are stupid. They can reassure you. You baby also goes through stages where he/she wants to move a whole lot and then be still for awhile too. I am pretty sure they are going to tell you as long as you are feeling it some it's normal, but call just to be sure. Best of luck to you.

If youre busy doin somethin..then maybe you wont notice as much movement..try drinking some water and eating somethin..maybe youll feel baby move after youve eaten or drank..somethin...thats what happened to me ..I also asked to be put in the fetal monitoring room where you can listen to heartbeat..and have the heartbeat up and down monitoring..its soo cute..I drank alittle water that didnt work , then they gave me cheese and crackers that didnt work..I dont usually do this but I drank a sip of pepsi and that did it...He loved it and moved everywhere...I just had my third five months ago...Hes doin awesome..and gettin bigger everyday..as well as my five yearold and three yearold...You sound like youre having an awesome pregnancy so far..keep up the great work...and by the way...CONGRATS!!! also ask to have an extra ultrasound done..and DONT STRESS OR WORRY...YOURE DOIN FINE.. ;))

call the midwife, she may ask u to go in and be monitored for 15 mins or so . that is what she did for me, fetal movements are very important however u are still fairly early on, so it may be that baby has moved positions and u just cant feel them cos baby is still so tiny x x x x

Like always in pregnancy if your worried then go and see your midwife dont worry about bothering them its their job, and you'll get the piece of mind that you so desperatly want. All the best.
