While waiting..

I'm 35 weeks and my little one just doesn't seem very active today. I've tried laying down in a dark room after drinking juice. I've tried music and talking to him. Nothing. I'm very paranoid as I've had two miscarriages. I called my nurse on duty and waiting for a call back. Just wondering and seeking a peace of mind, is it normal to notice a significant change in movement the closer you get to your due date? Any other tricks to possibly help with getting little one up and moving?
