ok i am 24weeks 2day and yesterday my baby kicked only 5times all day today i have felt only 5 kicks as well and no movement. i am not all that worried cos i have used my fetal heart doppler to listen and there is a heart beat but my question is. is reduced fetal movement or kicks a sign of something serious or just a lazy baby? should i still inform my doctor ?. i had a scan done yesterday and he looks ok and weigh 1pound 5oz do you guys think that he will be a big baby?

Your baby should weigh about that much.
I am 23w 6d and my doctor told me to not worry if I feel the baby alot one day and not much the next day. The babies movement won’t have any rhyme or reason.
I generally feel my little girl early in the morn, right after I eat, and especially when I am laying in bed.
I am sure your baby is just fine. If you have concerns, talk to your doc about it!
My doctor had told me when I was pregnant that if you have had a busy day they will sleep longer the next day. I wouldn’t worry too much, but you could call your doctor and let them know your concern.
ok ur doctor would tell u if u should be concered but my daughter would kick all the time and as she got bigger she kicked alot less its just how active they wanna be my friend said she would go days without feeling her baby kick but all babies are different if your that concerned call ur doctor
Well babies are only human…they get tired and dont move as much some days. It also starts to get cramped in there and as they get less room they dont move as much. If you are still feeling some kicks then you are just fine.
I wouldn’t worry about the kicks, my baby at that point would have "lazy" days where I was lucky to feel one or two kicks, then a few days later he’d be tap dancing for hours.
The main thing is you feel somthing every day, or even every other day sometimes.
As far as size…I don’t know about that one, I think you will need to wait until your third trimester, that is when the babies start to show who is going to be big and whatnot.
if your concerned call the dr, but i think you will be ok my son only moved 2 times my whole pregnancy. and when he was born he had the cord wrapped around his neck twice, so its almost as if he knew NOT to move any more. but other than that he was a healthy happy 7lb 10 oz boy
At 24 weeks theres probably a lot of movement that you still can’t feel. Baby could just be hitting you places you can’t really feel it (internally, or placenta etc) or just moving around sucking on its hands etc.
My Dr. told me not to worry about doing kick counts or anything until later on, when you can feel more of the movements.
