When does the baby’s movements slow down?

Question

I’m 36 weeks and I’ve noticed today and yesterday that I haven’t felt as much movement and they are not as strong and frequent as they normally are. I have a Doppler and I’ve checked for the heartbeat. I do still feel little things here and there but it’s beginning to concern me. Is there something wrong? 🙁

Answer

I’m 40wk+2d and my baby has not stopped moving. The movements aren’t as big now as she has less room to move, but she’s constantly fidgeting or adjusting herself

Answer

The bigger the baby gets the less room they have to move. I noticed around 37 weeks. If it is worrying you I would just call L&D. You can also kick count and see, drink ice water then lay on your side and focus on counting. Even if the movements are small it still counts.

Answer

Just call your doctor! It doesn't hurt at all to check. I still feel a lot of movements at 36+1, but they are more subtle. I do notice that she's calmer certain times of the day, but it's become predictable. It never hurts to call or to go in for peace of mind!

Answer

Around 37 weeks for me, I noticed she doesn’t move as much! Try not to stress! I feel like she moves when I’m not thinking about it

Answer

I’m 36w6d baby has definitely slowed down.

Answer

Baby's movements DO NOT reduce. The movement will change but there should still be the same amount of activity.
My friend had reduced movements at 38 weeks listened with doppler at home and so didn't go get checked. Next day she felt no movements and baby had died that night. If she had gone in to be checked they probably would have picked up a problem that you just can't with a doppler.
GO GET YOUR BABY CHECKED

Answer

Hey momma , not to worry you but I hardly felt my baby move last Tuesday at 36 weeks . I went in to make sure she was fine and there was a heart rate but came to find out her fluids were super low so she had declines on her heart rate . I was induced that Wednesday.  The nurse when I went in told me it doesn’t matter how many times you come in , come in if anything starts to change

Answer

If you've  been busy  you probably  havent noticed them as much.  Or baby might just be relaxing  when you are.

Answer

Doctors usually want you to contact them if you notice a considerable amount of less movement.
