Worried About Baby Movement - 22 weeks

Am 22weeks today and baby has been in a fairly regular pattern of movement since around week 16/17. But the last few days the movements have seemed less regular and smaller? 

Saw in my notes from my 20week scan that I have an anterior placenta which I read can sometimes soften the movement - but wondering why it would feel different now? 

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks x

    Hi if you notice any changes in your babies movements you should call triage or your midwife. This can put your mind at ease :)

    Thanks GummyBear9! Saw my doctor this morning - got to listen to the baby's heartbeat and everything is as it should be...

    They explained that it might be as simple as the baby has moved position and because of where my placenta is, it's harder to feel it now. Doesn't mean the baby isn't moving at all.

    But now my mind is at rest. Such a relief image
