23 weeks - movement slowing down?!

Question

From 20-22 weeks my son was moving a TON. It felt like almost all day and kick after kick! But now movement has slowed a lot at 23 weeks…. I still feel him kicking a few times here and there throughout the day. But definitely not as much or for as long. I know it’s normally the third trimester where you start counting kicks so maybe I’m worried for nothing! Just so weird that it changed. Would love any advice or input!

Answer

I’m going through this now. I’ll be 22 weeks tomorrow and all of a sudden he’s not moving as much. I’m counting kicks anyway and have Doppler so I can keep checking. So scary when this happens! But I’m sure it’s normal. Realistically they are still small and that’s why we shouldn’t count kicks yet

Answer

It could be a growth spurt and he’s just resting and only moving sometimes. Also he could be facing where you can’t feel him move so much. When my son is facing my spine, I feel very very light flutters. But when he’s facing my belly button, I feel even the slightest movement.
