Hi, thanks for writing..
I understand your concern. Minimum of 10 movements should be experienced in a day. After food 1 hour, check for 1 hr thrice daily. 3-4 movements in an hour is normal. If its decreased consult your doctor and get an ultrasound and doppler to see for fetal well being. hope i have answered your query. Good day.
