Baby Movements, Question!

I am 26 weeks along now in my pregnancy and i feel as if my baby isn't moving nearly as much as she was just last week!

Maybe i am just over thinking things and worrying about nothing, but i have noticed a difference. I still feel my baby move and give me kicks here and there....it just isn't as often or as much.

I have misscarried before, so i tend to freak out over every little thing!

But i was wondering, is this normal? As you get further along in pregnancy, does the baby move less?

Is this your first baby?
Baby could also just be sitting in a different position. I wouldn't worry too much. If it will ease your mind, call your Dr.'s office..

Baby could be sitting in a position where more of your uterus is up front so to speak and baby is not being felt as much. Try drinking some OJ, laying on your left side and see of thay gets her moving... :) It's normal. It is also normal for baby to less active as they grow because they are.actually sleeping and resting. So if baby exhausted herself yesterday, she's probably sleeping today. Do a kick count .

I miscarried before too and am now 31 weeks. I seemed to have the same problem but my lo is fine. The dr said that she was just in a different position. I also tend to not feel her move when I'm up moving around and I do tend to worry still If I dont feel her move to much. But she's fine I figure as long as she moves she ok but when I'm sitting down relaxing or trying to sleep she goes crazy!

it all depends on baby's positioning and if this is your first baby then you probably will freak out. Kick counts don't start until between 28-30 weeks but I'm sure if you call your doc and are worried they will do a NST for you and check babies HB.

The baby will always move less the father into pregnancy you get as the baby has less and less room to move in there. I'm sure everything is good as long as you feel her a few times a day. 

My baby only moves a few times in the morning and not again until i lay down for bed.
