Does baby stop moving before labor?

People keep asking me if my baby is still moving to determine whether I'm going to go into labor soon or not. I think this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I am due in 3 days and one of the first things that MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ask me is if the baby is still moving, then they proceed to tell me that I need to call them immediately as this could mean the baby is in distress. They never told me its a sign of labor, they said it is a sign of danger and distress. I've pretty much answered my own question already, but I'm creating this poll to kind of prove something because it gets under my skin that people swear this is a sign of labor. So tell me: Does baby stop moving before labor?
