Should I be worried about the baby?

Ok this is my fourth pregnancy but at the end of Nov. I had a miscarriage and ever since I have had trouble not worrying which I didn't do when I was pregnant with my two sons. Ok to get to the question. I started to feel the baby move at about 12 weeks. Then at about 14 weeks I felt the baby moving like crazy, he or she had the hicups twice and was flipping all over the place and all of this happened in thirty min. I was so happy to feel it like that, it was three times as strong as I had felt so far. Now I'm 16 weeks and ever since that one night I can hardly feel the baby, it seems like it should get stronger. I hope this question makes sense. What it really boils down to is should I be worried that it's not getting stronger.

    I am 28 weeks and only feel the baby here and there at night when I lay down, and the Dr.said to not be too concerned and as long as I feel fetal movement that is all that matters. I feel light kicks too but my 3D ultrasound showed that he is OK. Hope this helps!

    I don't want to scare you but you need to go to the doctor as soon as possible and get the baby checked out. The baby is still moving so that's good but its better to be safe. If you don't go to the Doctor then you are just going to be worried and stressed out. That's not healthy for you or your baby.

    You can talk to your doctor if your worried, but I wouldn't be. Maybe you are just one of the lucky ones who's baby sleeps during the day and is awake at night. You may just be sleeping through the movement. My sister did with her second. She got worried and went to the doctor, but everything was fine.
