Is it normal for your baby’s movements to fell less close to birth?

Question

I stoped counting over a week ago. Simply because i’am distracting with a lot of other things. When I do remember to count, it feels like he moves very little per day. Especially recently. Do I have to feel 10 kicks per hour or every 2 hours? Or as long as I feel some movements per day everything is okay?

Answer

Baby movements will be more pushes and rolls instead of actually kicks as there is less room.

Answer

They have a lot less room to move.

Answer

10 in 2 hours. Drink something sweet like apple juice to make your baby move so you can get those 10 in 2 hours. Trust your instincts. If you feel something is off, call your doctor.

Answer

If you have a noticeable decrease in movement call your doctor and get checked out. Babies shouldn’t move noticeably less the further along you are.

Answer

I struggle with movement still.  
My babe has 3 really slow and sluggish days where I'm constantly on the verge of going to the ER out of panic, and then a day or 2 of being very noticable.
Stick with your gut. You should be able to feel/make him move, but try to recognize a pattern and this might calm your anxieties...
Good luck

Answer

My doctor said 10 in 2 hours, but they also have a lot less room to move around so they're not as pronounced.
