Help! I don't feel him kicking anymore.

I've felt my little miracle since 16 weeks, and by 18 weeks I could clearly feel him kicking all day long. Since yesterday though, I haven't felt anything (I'm 21 weeks now). I keep reading that you should only start feeling kicks daily from 28 weeks, but I'm getting a bit panicked because I feel nothing. I'm lying down calmly right now with my hands on my belly, watching to see if anything happens. If not, I'll just call the midwife.

    If you're not comfortable, definitely call. I got the tip to lie on my left side for an hour.

    I've had it twice too. This time she was lying with her legs towards my back, it turned out.

    Yeah, definitely lie on your side...
    And if you don't feel comfortable, just give them a call..

    I just called, I was really worried. I got an appointment for tomorrow. Specifically to reassure me because I should only really start feeling something every day from 26 weeks onwards. So it's still a wait until tomorrow. Hope everything is okay.

    I hope it's a girl too, but I'm pretty sure it is. Let me know how it went

    With the baby, everything is fine! The midwife told me that he's lying with his legs towards my back, which is why I don't feel the kicks. Such a relief????
