baby kicks

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and I've started feeling the baby moving 2 weeks ago. Usually,  the baby kicks a few times a day for a few minutes but today was quiet. I only felt a few kicks once. I guess it's normal to feel more kicks one day than another,  but I'm curious how does this work with your baby? ????

Earlier in my pregnancy my baby went a few days without kicking (I guess I didn't feel it) I panicked. The next day she started kicking again and  kw she kicks constantly. When I had expressed my concerns to mu mother she just laughed at me again nd told me to relax *sigh* first time mommy probs

your baby has to figure out it's sleeping pattern. the further you are the more you'll notice when baby is awake and asleep. it isn't far to always drink something sweet when the baby isn't moving when you want. you'll notice the pattern soon. at 8months start counting 10 movements every hour. baby sleeps 30 minutes and moves 10 times the next. count bout small and big. and if the baby is more active one day and barely moves the next. your baby just rejuvenating.

My baby has been super active since I felt first kicks. But if he isn't I drink a glass of oh.  And he squirms and reassures me everything is ok
