Not feeling kicks

Hi mummies, I’m at my 24th week now. Got into a huge argument with my husband yesterday night. And up till now, I’ve not felt my baby’s kicks and I’m starting to get paranoid ): wondering if it has got to do with the argument at all cos I read that when baby’s are in our tummy, they can sense our emotion etc. Is there anything that I can do to encourage fetal movement?

I felt the same way!! Was very stressed at work one day and i didnt manage to feel much of baby’s kicks. I panicked, drank a glass of cold sweet milo at night and laid down on my side. Felt only 1-2 hard kicks after that, and the rest felt too faint/light. Continued like this for about 2 days until after the stressful situation at work passed, then suddenly baby was VERY active and kicking hard throughout the day 😅 im at 24w+ too. I only realised this was caused by stress on hindsight.... so i think yes, baby can really feel our tension! :( Try drinking some cold sweet drinks, and lying on the side, it really helped to encourage baby’s movements, however small! Good luck!
