Is it normal that my baby doesn't move much? Is there anything I should be

I am 24 weeks and I feel the baby moving but not often. Sometimes I go for hours without feeling her.

My son first started kicking around 24 weeks but he didn't really do it often until around 26 weeks now it's non stop lol but I don't think there's anything to worry about

They say u only needs to pay aention from 28 weeks as bubs might just be facing inwards etc so u cant feel it. If u r concerned just go and get checked. Motherly instinct is good

Wait a couple more weeks and you will feel plenty of movement as the baby grows and begin to run out of room to move lol

I wouldn't worry, you need to feel them move 6 times in a 2 hour period. I find in the morning when I wake up,  after I eat and at night when I'm lying down she moves the most. Try to drink a glass of juice and see what happens. If your worried go to labour and delivery they told me to at any time I don't feel the baby move 6 times in 2 hours. Good luck :)

I am not a doctor but have noticed my baby move more when hungry or after meals when relaxing. Or stressing out. Otherwise, when I am active - he is quite and not moving much.

My boyfriend does say he feels him move during night quite often when I sleep.
