Q: Haven't felt baby B today

I'm almost 23 weeks pregnant with fraternal girls and baby A has been active all day, it seems like she's constantly moving around and kicking...
Baby B I haven't felt today. I've tried poking my belly on that side, drinking orange juice and cold water, laying down, making sounds and no movement that I feel...
Maybe the placenta is in front and that's why? I don't know... Should I call the midwife on call? Don't know what to do.
I haven't had any abnormal cramping or bleeding at all. No symptoms to make me think she's not okay. But it's just weird I guess.
Baby A is so active, where baby B doesn't seem to be as much. Sometimes a only feel baby B a handful of times a day and baby A I feel non stop it seems...
Any advise??
Thanks!

The problem with twins and sometimes you just don't know who you are feeling even if you are sure. I was for sure who I was feeling for the longest time and then at my 28 week ultrasound, I was completely wrong! Also, at 23 weeks, I still didn't feel a whole lot. It wasn't until I was closer to 30 weeks that I could really tell which twin was moving. Might want to ask your doctor what they suggest in terms of how much each baby should move. One twin can also be more active than the other. I wouldn't worry too much unless you aren't feeling any movement but 23 weeks is still early. My doctor didn't start asking me about movement until I was closer to 30 weeks.

Yay!! I'm glad you felt her! I wonder if her sister isn't just making it a little tough for her to move around since she is so active?? Would be a good question at your next appointment!
