Cannot feel baby moving

Hi moms, I’m a 2nd time mom and with my first, I started feeling baby movement at 12 weeks. I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd (at 16 weeks now) and this time round I felt it as early as 9 weeks. I thought it was just my imagination, but when I went for scan at 12 weeks, then I realised that what I felt were real cos baby was super duper active doing somersaults and sliding and punching and kicking like nobody’s business 😂 But since yest I couldn’t feel any movement. Baby is usually very active and punches/kicks hard so I’m starting to feel worried if there’s anything wrong inside 😢 Shld I try to wait it out today and tmr to feel for baby, or shld I just immediately go A&E?

Thank you for replying to my question! I did wait it out that same day but didn’t feel anything at night nor the next morning, so I went to A&E the next morning. When gynae checked, baby seemed to be just be floating and moved legs a bit but I couldn’t feel anything when baby moved. It was totally different from what I saw a month ago. Gynae couldn’t explain why I stopped feeling baby’s movement but speculated that since baby grew bigger and there seemed to be less space, that could be why there’s minimal movement. Gynae also pointed out that baby will go through different movement phases so that could be why. Also 16 weeks is too early to do anything so all I could do is to monitor baby’s movements and watch out for abdominal pain/bleeding. From the scan, gynae said that heartbeat and placenta both looked good so hopefully it stays that way. 🙏🏻
