Im not completely sure as im a ftm and 25 weeks 3 days, but my paperwork from doc says to contact them if there's a decrease/absence in movement for more than 24 hours after 20 weeks and 5 hours after 28 weeks. Does that make sense?
Baby could have changed positions or is having "down time".
Have you tried drinking orange juice & laying down? Or some soda?

Not at all no need to worry, you are still at the stage where constant movement is not required, the dr actually arent concerned with movement until around 28 wks which is when they want you to keep a count...at that point baby should move 10times within an hour.
