I am 24 weeks pregnant. for a couple of days, there waslots of movement. for the last 2 days, it is not so much. i am still feeling more gentle movements. are gentle movements better than none?

Yes: I usually instruct kick counts starting at 29 weeks. Movements are not always consistent earlier. Some movement is good. It doesn't always have to be strong kicks that are felt.

Sure. : Fetal movement is quite variable. Some days are more active than others. Keep your regular OB appointments, and report any variations to that office.
