Hope this helps- This is my second pregnancy, first ended in miscarriage at 11 weeks, so needless to say I have been a bundle of nerves this time around. I am in my 28th week and had a few days last week of decreased/no fetal movement. My Dr.'s nurse had me go in and she put me on a fetal monitor just to make sure everything was OK and it was. He was actually moving around quite a bit, but because of his position I could not feel him. He switched positions a couple of days ago and I feel him fine now.

I would just call your Dr. and ask to go in. It will make you feel tons better :)
