I'm in my 7th month of pregnancy now, it just started on May 23rd, 2021, but I havent felt any baby movements for the last couple of days. I can hear the heartbeat though. Everything was fine in the 6th month with lots of movement. Should I be worried about the reduction in movements? What might be causing this?

Hi! It's great that you're hearing the baby's heartbeat, but a decrease in movements can sometimes indicate a need for medical attention. Please visit your doctor immediately to ensure everything is okay. They might do an ultrasound or other checks for reassurance.
