Less movement and freaked out

The last couple weeks, baby girl has been really high, and I've gotten some REALLY strong kicks.  Yesterday and this morning though, I haven't felt as much, and when I do feel her, she's low down again. Should I be concerned? Or is this normal? This is my first pregnancy, so any advice from someone who's "been there before" would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a FTM but this is common for me. Just last Sunday I barely felt him move. I've found that some days he's just quiet. Especially days that I'm busy and doing a lot of running around.

My LO has been quiet also, and then will bounce around and make me happy!

Im a FTM but this is totally normal.  They say some babies have active days and then lazy days just like us.  I notice some days she is very quiet and others she kicks a lot more.  Also, they have a lot of room right now and so they can move to diffrent positiosn and areas in the uterus, resulting in different feeldings and movement based on how they are situated .  :)  I would not worry unless you go an entrire day (24 hours) with out feeling a thing.

I wouldn't be concerned.  Doctors don't typically have us women do kick counts until 30+ weeks, right?

Some days I barely feel my baby, and others he's pretty active.  I think some women are just starting to really feel kicks now, too.  The baby is still pretty small, so if they tuck themselves a certail way they could be difficult to feel for a day or two.

I had a similar experience last week, but it was over 24 hours since I had felt anything.  If you are still feeling some movement I wouldn't be concerned.  I did go in and had an ultrasound, and baby had just changed positions and was folded in half with the legs over the head!  It is good you are still feeling something!

We were in the middle of a cross country move and lo wasnt really active at all the whole trip. And when i felt him it was really weak compared to usual movement. Two days later and i feel like he has been up nonstop for the past 24 hours with really strong movement. :)
