Tightening count as movements?

Krista
Hey ladies, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I've had less movement for awhile. Last week I went to hospital about it and baby was fine and they mentioned that he could be hitting my placentia which acts like a cushion or just running out of room. They also said to make sure I'm getting those 6 movements in 2 hours. I'm finding that I'm getting tons of light tightenings that last maybe 10 seconds more than I do kicks. I'm not getting kicks very often anymore and I'm woundering does those tightenings count as baby movements?
