  I think movement is supposed to slow after 35 weeks because of space issues. However, if there is no movement, then that's a sign for concern. In any way, if you are concerned, I would try to drink water, etc and lay to see if it will move. If after trying this, and nothing happens, then I'd call my doctor. I always like to call to be sure, plus you will get the peace of mind. 

  LO responds to cat meows and my husbands haha...so that always works for me.

  My OB told me that if I don't feel the baby move, drink some juice and lay on my side. I should be able to feel at least 10 movements in a 2 hr period. If not, I should call. I am still feeling movement after I eat, she seems pretty active in there!?

  I wouldn't worry too much. Decreased movement is normal at this point. I would just try what PP's have suggested and if you don't feel adequate movement, then call your doctor.
