Can I get some advice please?

Okay ladies, I am 23 weeks along and have gone from butterfly effect feelings to more like popcorn popping feelings. Every morning at like 3 a.m. and at night around bedtime (sadly which is around 8:30 p.m.!) I feel these movements. I didn't feel them last night nor this morning. Do you think I should call my doctor? Part of me thinks I should but part of me thinks I am just being paranoid. I mean, I know it's still early for me to feel big kicks but still. Any suggestions?

I was worried by this last week as had been getting fairly regular movement then nothing really, I have a doppler and everything sounded fine and then the movement started up again the next day anyway.

The advice is not to worry about decreased movement until 27 weeks.
Some of the girls on here suggest to drink a pint of ICY cold water then lie on your left side for 30 mins and you should get some movement.

Also, don't forget that if the baby is facing inwards towards your spine, feelings will be decreased. My baby was lying on it's tummy for all it's scans the little scamp, so my movements were very faint until it moved.

God I rambled there didn't I

Ultimately if you're really worried, ring your MW

luckily im 22 weeks and feel baba all the time but this is my 2nd and they say you notice it more with your second.
i know it sounds strange but get in a bath and push in your tummy a little for some reason both my 1st and 2nd babies react more in water think its probably the sounds.
good luck!

THANK YOU!!!! Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I posted the little bugger moved.

I mentioned it in passing to my Mom who totally freaked me out and made me a nervous wreck.

I KNEW to wait but still.....when your Mom freaks you out there isn't much you can do to calm yourself down. I appreciate the answer though!!!!
