is baby alright?

So, about 5 days ago my baby was moving and kicking SO much and then a few days ago it stopped. I still get a kick once in a great while. I've read that if your baby has a sudden decrease in movement, something could be wrong :( does anyone know if this is normal or not? I'm a paranoid ftm lol

Ashdub07, if I were you I'd start looking at your stomach when you feel those kicks or pokes. The other day my baby was kicking and I lifted my shirt up for some reason and I realized that I could see the baby kick! My stomach pokes out and moves :) its the cutest thing! But thank you ladies for replying, it just has me worried a little bit

No most women don't even feel movements until after 22 weeks so you're lucky to have felt this early. I'm 18 weeks and only feel a poke here and there but no actual kicks

You won't feel constant movement for a while. I would go days without feeling her move and it would scare.me BC my son never stopped. But now she is just as active as he was.
