Is it normal to not feel baby move for a day?
It is sporadic in early pregnancy, and women report feeling movement one day but not the next. After 26 weeks, however, fetal movement should be felt on a daily basis. Most practitioners will counsel their patients to do daily “fetal kick counts”.
What do I do if I haven’t felt my baby move today?

- Your baby has less than 10 movements in two hours.
- Your baby has a significant of sudden change in movements.
- When in doubt.
Why is my baby not moving as much?
You might just try another time to launch a kick count when your baby seems to be more active. But there are other more potentially serious reasons that your baby might not be moving around as much. Your baby’s growth might have slowed down. Or there could be a problem with your baby’s placenta or with your uterus.
