Tenar, there's no "right" amount of movement for a baby - you get to know your baby's patterns and habits, and you know best when things have changed. While I'm not saying "panic," I think that it is really wise to listen to your concerns, and go and get checked out. It's perfectly valid to say "My baby's movements have decreased markedly over the last few days and I'd like to be checked out to make sure everything is okay". No-one is going to mind that. You can get a CTG done that will most likely show a nice, strong reactive heartbeat... and you will feel much less stressed.
All babies are different - while ten movements in a day might be okay for some, for others a very active baby going down to ten movements in a day might signal something of concern. Certainly if I only got ten movements in a day from this baby, I'd be up at the hospital. With my previous baby, not so much.
