Baby movements

Baby girl usually moves so much and kicks me like crazy. I’m 24 weeks today but she hasn’t been moving a lot the past couple days and I’m so worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone tells me to only worry if she’s not moving in the 3rd trimester but I’m so worried about her.
