not feeling baby move

Mallorie • Mallorie Johnson

so my doctor told me to start kicking counting since i’m 29 weeks now. she said I should start feeling 5 kicks every hour. but his movements are so sporadic sometimes i only feel him only at night or only in the morning. otherwise i have to poke and prod at my stomach until he moves and then he just goes back to sleep after kicking once. 😑 can someone please tell me if they’ve experienced this ans if its normal? I’m worried
