    Yes, but my dr. says it is totally normal.  As long as you still are feeling LO move some, and you can always do a kick count if you are worried, you shouldn't be concerned.

    I really haven't noticed decreased movement, although she does have clear periods of rest/sleep and movement.  I've been having a lot of contractions lately and they really get her going.

    Butting in. with DD i had very decreased movement but would do a kick count twice a day to reassure myself. I always got 10 kicks in 30mins even though they tell you 10 kicks in 1 hour. hang in there ladies your almost there!!

    Yes, and it bothers me. It's kind of scary even though I know that is what is supposed to happen since LO is running out of room. I'm sure I bug her, because if it's been to long I poke at her until she moves a bit.

    Yes.  Now, it's a lot more attempting to stretch or shift from one side to the other vs. the constant kicking and punches from before.  She also gets the hiccups 2x day.  I can poke her a bit to get her to move if I get nervous.

    Somewhat.  My OB said at my 38 week appt on Tuesday that decreased movement at this point is normal because he is running out of room.

    Yep. He is moving way less these days. Despite what google says, my doctor said it was normal as long as he is meeting kick counts.

    Yep.  She was going crazy last Saturday (37 1/2 weeks), but has been really quiet ever since then.  What little movement she does have is stretching her butt or feet against my belly.  She also gets the hiccups a couple of times per day.

    I poke LO too! She definitely has sleeping patterns and usually doesn't require any provoking around 11pm Smile
