Little Movement

I'm 23w/6d and I haven't been feeling much movement from my little person. Anyone else not feeling movements?  I go next Thurs to my obgyn but wondering if I should be more concerned....

I feel quite a lot of movement, today I actually saw him kick and my older daughters felt him. I'm 21+6 but I don't remember seeing either of my girls this early. Each pregnancy is different.

I only really feel stuff at night when I'm laying on my left side. Other than that, it's rare

I'm 21 1/2wks and usually, I'm doing too much to really feel a whole lot. I feel him the most when I sit down and relax. I was pretty concerned as well so I asked my doc about it and they said that wasn't too off base. They said the constant moving probably soothes the baby. It was kinda the same way with my last baby. He would move a bit while I was up and going but as soon as I would stand still for longer than five minutes, he'd beat up my insides lol Try coaxing the baby to move. I try to just lay my hand on my belly and will lightly stroke where he is and he'll start to move.

The last couple of days I wasn't feeling baby, but I realized all the gas bubbles feeling by my cervix was him kicking! Today I felt him roll, and now feeling him by me belly

Kick counts usually don't start until 28 weeks .. Try drinking something cold and sweet and laying on your left side for an hour n see if you feel anything. Babies have lazy days just like us. Sometimes they just don't move much.. Or sometimes their movements aren't big enough for us to feel.

I haven't been feeling much either. I went to the doc. Heart beat was good. They took blood & scheduled an ultrasound just to check everything.

I haven't felt much movement from my little one either. .. but everything has been fine with as far as heartbeat goes... doctors will reassure you by the heartbeat. .. if too worried I would go to the ER and they will probably check the heartbeat and do an ultrasound

How much are we talking? If you have 10 movements in 2h, you should be fine.
Or is it just today that there's less movement?
I usually feel less on the days I'm busy.  I get more contractions then too so more difficult to feel movement.
