WWPGALD? Maybe decreased movement at 37 weeks?

Baby is usually SUPER active.  She has lots of fluid and is all over the place.  I haven't felt much since earlier this afternoon.  Did a kick count and got to 10 in 40 minutes....so that is definitely 10 in less than 2 hours, but usually it takes me 5-15 minutes at this time of day. 

Would you be concerned or does this seem like a small decrease in movement and it's nbd?

Call.

FWIW, with DD I noticed a decrease in movement at 37+6. She was still hitting her kick counts and sounded great on doppler, so I held off on going in until a scheduled BPP the next morning. I was sent in for an induction immediately. Low fluid. I had no clue and just a week prior my fluid was fine (i was getting bpps weekly). Things can change fast.

Call and let your doc or L&D decide if it is concerning.

I'm with Junebug. It never hurts to call your dr or take a trip to L&D if you just don't feel right.

I've been very close to going a few times.  Just like you, around 37 weeks, LO slowed down alot here and there.  Her sleep patterns are very different than they were before I checked her on the doppler at home, she had a good hb but she still wasn't moving much.  finally, drinking some cold water perked her awake.  She also was passing all of her kick counts but things are just different.  Her active patterns have mostly changed to not being very active half of the day and then back to her normal self the other half.  She's occasionally had days where her activity was just like before.

My dr told me to come in anytime I felt uncomfortable.  I may even ask for an extra BPP tomorrow since my anxiety is getting higher now that I'm so close. 

HUGS.  PGAL sucks.

I would call. I had something very similar at 37 weeks. They ended sending me for a quick check and all was ok (movements were just feeling different due to lack of space). But that 1 hour out of my day was worth peace of mind. There is no way to know what's going on so when in doubt always call.

Keep us posted! I hope all is ok

Thanks for the replies ladies.  She started going crazy soon after I posted and I was up most of the night feeling her move.  If it happens again, I'm going to call right away....but she has been all over the place since last night.
