‘m 21 weeks pregnant and yesterday I started feeling my baby move less. I felt him a lot on friday and then yesterday an today not as much . Also there not as strong feeling. Like friday they felt like strong popping bubbles in my tummy but the past two days they have just been light. I know he’s okay cause I have a fetal heart doppler and have heard his heartbeat but im just confused.?
I got my doppler off amazon. its The Pocket Fetal Doppler by Contec. Model: Sonoline B. It works great!

Babies are just like normal kids, some days they are very excited and other days not too much they just feel like resting. As long as you are feeling some movements I am sure everything is just fine (and like you said you heard the heart beat) Take a breath and don’t stress!
BTW, where did you get your doppler and what kind is it? I have been wanting to get one but not sure which one to go with!
Maybe he is just sleeping more than usual? I am 21 weeks pregnant and i am due july 27th with my little boy and he sleeps most of the day and wakes up around 4:30ish in the after noon and sometimes around 9pm and usually in the morning for a little.
just like anyone. people move in different paces everyday. as long as you feel him/her move sometimes and didnt lose feeling all together you should be fine. you will experience alot of different movement patterns some stronger one day and not as strong other days.
If you notice your baby is not moving as much as usual my doctor told me to try drinking some cold water, or try to poke around on your belly a little bit. The baby should move. If not you need to let your doctor know.
