Decreased fetal movement at 29 weeks. Should I be concerned?

Question

My baby boy is due October 4th. I've just entered into my 29th week and the past three days I've noticed my son isn't as active as he usually is. He's still moving but less frequently and not as strong...even when I drink cold water or consume something sugary. I'm so worried. I have an OB appt on Friday morning but should I call Thursday and tell them what's been going on?
Is what I'm experiencing normal?

Answer

You should call them asap. They will tell you to come in so they can monitor you.
It may not seem like nothing but this is how i found out my daughter was dying inside me.

Answer

Did everything end up being okay?

Answer

I had the same experience within the last week. It was 2-3 days of noticeably decreased movements. I drank cold drinks, ate sugary and spicy foods and baby still wouldn’t move as much. I couldn’t decide if I should call or wait it out. The next day I was going to call but baby was crazy active and has been every day since then. It’s a really tough situation because something could really be wrong (and I’ve seen plenty of stories of that) but we can also feel like we are just being paranoid. Now that I’ve hit 28 weeks when they say to start counting movements, I will more than likely call if that happens again!!

Answer

You need to go in asap!!! I had decreased fetal movements with my last  pregnancy. My placenta had started aging and had I not went in, my son wouldn't be here.

Answer

Anytime, you feel decreased movement they say to go in. 
I would go better safe and sound.
