Is it normal to feel less movement?

Question

Is it normal to feel less movement the further along you get? I feel like a couple days ago movements were strong and more frequent then they have been today. She hasn't been active much at all today. 38 weeks in 2 days. When is it time to be concerned?

Answer

It's normal not to feel as many strong kicks and such, but you should still feel some type of movement regularly. I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and I've noticed I don't feel as much with my son now. I feel hiccups, little flutters from his hands down low, or he'll roll and stick his butt out, but rarely any strong kicks lately.

Answer

I'd say it's normal for the movements to feel different not less. As the baby grows the movements go from a jabbing and kicking feeling, to a slow movement across your stomach. That being because there is less room for them to move.

Answer

Nope. My doctor said it is not normal to feel less movement. Id get checked if I were you just to be safe

Answer

If you lay down for 2 hours and can count at least 10 kicks then you are good. If not, please go to the hospital and get checked!

Answer

My Dr said babies are like us and sometimes have lazy days but u should still feel 10 an hour. I'm almost 40 weeks and I just ate a Hoagy an fries and it feels like my son is doing jumping jacks an twerkin inside me bahahaha. 
But no when u get worried, lay flat on ur back and just watch ur belly. My son pushes His behind out a lot an I sometimes don't feel it but I sure can see it when I'm laying this way. Or nudge the baby, wake it up. Also cold showers get my boy moving as well as sex. 
I bought a HB Doppler and let me tell u, I've gotten my moneys worth out of it for sure with how bad I worry. Lol its my 4th but still get freaked out.

Answer

Following because I've been feeling some movement but not as strong as normal. Also 38 weeks! So we're in the same boat, I'm hoping maybe it just has to do with baby not having as much room to move around. I'm going to ask my doctor in the morning when I go in. Sorry I don't have an answer!
