Lessened movement

I am just about to be 26 weeks, and the movements from my baby are lessened in both quantity and intensity.  Granted, she still moves, but not nearly as much and when she does it is so soft.  Just a couple weeks ago it was strong and more frequent.  I keep trying to tell myself that this must be her new pattern because it has been going on for a 3-4 days and the fact that she is still moving (although different)  tells me that she is fine, right?

My doctor is blowing me off.... I need some reassurance!

thanks, it does in way.  It just got my stressed when I was reading in my monthly forum that everyone else seems to be experiencing more movement than ever.  Thanks you!

I am 29 weeks and I notice with my son that some days he feels like a lil kick boxer in there.  I mean to the point it hurts and then other days he is very quiet.  His movements aren't as intense.  I think it is pretty common for there to be fluctuation in movement.  Just like we have off days, they probably do too.  Hope that helps to ease your mind.
