    17 weeks. Less fetal movement
    Hi. So 17 weeks now,
    I could feel the baby move quite a lot there last week.
    But over the last couple of days the baby has not moved.

    Is this normal to feel the baby and then not, would I know if there was something wrong, would there be any signs.

    Most likely it is because it is early yet... many women don't even feel any real noticeable movement until closer to 20 weeks.

    You might feel more after you have been up for awhile, have a cold drink and then go lie down for a bit. Movement is sometimes more noticeable when you are resting quietly since you are no longer rocking baby with your moving about.
