Slightly Panicking

Im 36wks 2dys and my baby is giving me very sluggish movements. I have a doplar here at my house and her heart beat is perfect but movements have slowed way way down. Just light movements, tender kicks and half of what she usually does.
Usually she is pretty active. .. moving around, hiccups like clock everytime i eat and almost routine now.
But today.... shes been very very very low key.
Im nervous and almost in tears.
I see the doctor today in a few hours.

Im laying on my left side drinking plenty of water relaxing. ..all of it and still not getting what im used to. ...

It's totally okay! I just asked my doctor about it yesterday. I'm 36 weeks and 6 days. I was really concerned to. Its only because there's not very much room left and they're gonna be lazy for the next few weeks to.prepare for birth.

She picked up a little after this afternoon and even more since the doctor appt.
The doctor confirmed a solid heart beat, a head down baby, a big baby and 1/2cm dialiation.
I felt at ease when i left but in pain bc she was checking and now my contractions wont stop.lol.
I hate lazy days... she needs to just get here so i can watch her breath and know shes okay.lol

She's just growing and getting more smooshed. I notice my daughters movements slowed way down around 28 weeks and her whole routine changes, I found out it was because she had flipped (head down :) if you have a docs appointment no need to worry :)

I've felt that way when my baby slowed down her movements a couple of times. I actually wanted to panic this morning when she was very very still for a few minutes. But she always goes right back to her usual active self in no time at all.

Sometimes they are just a little lazy. I've panicked a lot www it my little guy until the doc and I determined he just goes through some quiet phases. As long as you are feeling movement even if it's not strong she should be just fine.
