Baby not moving as much.....

So I'm 25 wks 3 days, and normally at night he is very active, but last night he wasn't very active and so far this morning I haven't really felt him move at all. Is it normal for him to have really active and then not so active days, or should I call my Doctor? I mean I've felt him move this morning, but its no where near what I've normally been feeling. I just worry..

totally normal when i was around ur stage i was freaking out when i didnt feel movement for those periods of time, u get use to feeling the baby and then having days like that can be stressfull
if ur ever really worried, go drink some bubbly drink, or really cold water or sugary stuff like cordial
that will get u feeling a bit of movement again lol thats the advice a midwife gave me when i use to get worried, these days tho i know that there are quiet days etc and i dont freak out as much lol
good luck hun

Its totally normal, I know how you feel, I was the same way...still am!! There were times when I didn't feel the baby for day or two at a time, they say before 28 weeks, its normal.
I am 29 weeks now and thankfully I feel my little princess every day!

Yes its normal and usually when he's going through a growth spurt he'll sleep more.  If you really want to see if he's moving and want to feel him kick, put a flashlight on your belly and shine it in there for a couple of minutes, he'll deffinitely react to that!  Cold ice water works too and for some people orange juice works.
To me, chocolate, ice cold water and flashlight works.
