Decreased movements? almost 38 weeks.

Question

So for the past two days I've noticed that my son has lowered himself further but I have also noticed he isn't moving as much. He is normally nonstop moving at night towards 1am and lately he hasn't been. I do feel him move around throughout the day just not as much as he used too. Is this because he has possibly engaged all the way? Ive been bouncing on a birthing ball for the past two days for 15 minutes a day and I think it helped lower him down. Is this normal towards the end to feel less movement?

Answer

I've heard that completely normal that late in pregnancy! As long as you're feeling him, you should be okay! You could always call your doctor and have them place you on a monitor to see how baby's moving! I had to get set up to one the other day because I wasn't feeling my girly as much but I'm also only 31 weeks! 
You probably feel him less now because there's not much space for him to go except down and out! Lol

Answer

Seems normal, but drink some cold juice maybe eat a snack and lay on your side for 20-30 minutes (increases blood flow to the baby), and see if you notice any changes. The sleep pattern may have changed, and also they sleep a lot more closer towards the end. Always call your doctor if you feel like you have a gut feeling.
