should I be concerned about the baby's movements?

Question

I am 16 weeks today.  I first felt this baby move at 15 weeks 1 day.  I have felt quite a few movements everyday since then but, not really at all today.  I thought I felt a few very slight movements but, not sure.  Do you go through days where you don't feel it at all after feeling it for a week?  What was your experiences?  This is my 3rd baby but, I had a miscarriage before this one so everything worries me now.  Thanks!

I did around that time, Id feel her kicking like crazy one day and the next nothing.
It could be she needs more sleep, or your having a busy day and dnt feel her as much when you move. Nothing to worry about until around 28 weeks, thats when you do the "kick count"

Im the same way..I freak over everything cuz I've had 2 miscarriages before. I am 14 weeks and 5 days today..I started feeling the baby at 12 weeks. There are some days I dont feel anything..even sometimes 2 days in a row..just went to the dr on Tuesday and everythings fine! and Ive been feeling it since...im sure everythings fine

I am 29 weeks and 4 days pregnant and theres still some days that I dont even feel the baby move.  Nothing wrong with not feeling the baby move for a day or two at  a time

You don't need to be concerned until your 28 weeks - at 16 week baby is barely big enough to penetrate the uterine wall much less the uterine AND abdominal wall - not to mention the amnio fluid they are swimming around in

I wouldn't stress over this
