Movement- Inside babies

I haven't gotten as much movement as normal... I still feel her just not as much... Is that suppose to happen this close to delivery??? Am I the only one???

I am in the same boat. She is active, but not as active as when she was smaller. The cramped space has a lot to do with it. I feel more rolls and feet adjustments than I do kicks and punches. Although, every once in a while she will do a full body stretch and it's killer!

I don't know that I feel her less, but the movements definitely feel less violent most of the time, I'd assume because she's running out of space to go bonkers. It is funnier when she gets moving now! My belly looks like a lava lamp sometimes!

Your def not the only one. My due date is Mon, and lately Ive been feeling nervous cause he is barely moving. The only thing that will get him to squirm a bit is getting in the bath tub. SO ive been taking like 2-3 baths a day hahha Im assuming its normal but im gonna ask the doc this afternoon at my appt, just to be sure

Yes, my LO is not moving as much as before.  I agree with the others, baby is running out of room to move around.

same here, movements are no where near as busy as they used to be, however I still get the movements around the same time just they are small so if I am busy doing something I usually miss them.

Its normal at this stage due to lack of space my dr said as long as your feeling movements throughout the day all is good

I noticed this in the past few days. Less movement, there's still movement but not nearly as much. My DDate is Saturday I have definitely noticed a bunch of changes in my body. So I'm pretty sure it has everything to do with getting ready for labor.

I'm feeling less too - I'm wondering if it has to do with the contractions and the fact that while he's getting squished he can't do much moving anyway. I've been having a lot that are going nowhere (it seems) so that's why I'm thinking that way. But when he does move during one, oh man OUCH!!

I just saw my dr this morning and asked her about feeling less movement.  she told me it is totally normal at this stage, and as long as you still feel them moving it is good.  it does hurt when he gets a big stretch on though!
