Baby kicks weaker?

[Kaymanchase]

Hey there ladies and gents. My baby started kicking around 16 weeks. Since 18 weeks he started kicking hard enough to visibly move my stomach- after I had my first braxton hicks. I'm now 20 weeks and for the last 2 days he hasn't been kicking as hard. Like, he's still kicking, but its decreased in strength quite a bit. You can't see it anymore. Its back to the "twitch" type feelings. Should I be concerned? I haven't been able to go to the doctor since week 12 due to insurance issues, so I can't check on him yet. I'm really nervous.

They don't usually expect you to count kicks until like 26 weeks since baby is still pretty small. You're probably just not noticing them if you've been busy.Baby could have moved into a new dspot as well, and may not be able to kick the same spot as before, making it feel not as strong. If there is movement, baby is fine! I'd just bring it up at your next appointment if it's a big concern for you. Some moms don't even feel baby moving yet at 20 weeks. It all depends on baby's position, mom's awareness and a ton of other factors too.

Are you doing kick counts?  They'll probably ask when you call.  Just a heads up.  Agree it's probably ok as long as you're feeling movements.

Sure everything is fine, but called midwife or get checked x
