Slowed movements?

Question

I'm 39 weeks today (whoooo!) but I'm paranoid about baby's movements.

Do babies tend to slow down close to delivery? I'm doing kick counts and I think everything is fine, my anxiety is just heightened as I'm SO READY for him to come!

Answer

FROM COUNTTHEKICKS.ORG:
There is no magic number of movements a mother should feel.  The most important thing is to monitor YOUR baby's movements every day so you will know what is normal for YOUR baby.  
If you only remember two things, they are: 
#1 - Babies do not run out of room to move.  They will run out of room for somersaults but they should be moving all the way up to and during labor.
#2 - Call right away if you notice a change in your baby's movement pattern.  Even if you have an appointment scheduled for the next day, do not wait.
The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends you begin counting the kicks at your 28th week, or at 26 weeks if you are high risk or pregnant with multiples. 
After a few weeks of counting, you will probably see a bit of variance from day to day in the results, but for the most part the numbers should be similar. This will continue to be the case for a healthy baby—call your doctor if you notice a significant CHANGE in your baby’s movement pattern.
If you don’t feel 10 movements during your usual two-hour counting period, try to wake your baby up by drinking fluids, pushing on your tummy or taking a quick walk. Then, repeat the kick count. Call your provider immediately if you still don’t feel any movements.
Don’t wait!
You should also call your provider if you notice a significant change in your baby’s movement patterns. For, example, if you normally count 10 movements within 30 minutes and then you notice that it is taking the full two hours to record 10 movements.
Remember that all babies have frequent sleep/wake cycles and will sleep often. But very rarely does a baby kick fewer than 10 times during a two-hour period, as most babies don’t sleep longer than an hour at a time near the end of pregnancy.

Answer

If your kick counts are good I think baby would be fine. My babe has days of being active and then will be quiet the next day but if you are questioning call your doc/midwife to confirm.

Answer

I'm 37+5 and my baby girl hasn't moved much today. Well, besides this morning at the doctors, but she's calmed down quite a bit and has barely moved...
