32 weeks baby hardly moving

Im 32 weeks and since yesterday i noticed that my baby is not moving as much. Since week 25 her moves were happening at specific times really growing stronger... since two days ago i felt like she was lower and a very uncomfortable pressure on my pelvic floor. Since then my baby has moved about 4 times a day and not very much.. it even feels like her moves are weaker. I also have a  Velamentous cord insertion and i dont know if this lack of movement is riskier with this condition.

Im wondering if this is normal and happens around this time or if i should go get checked.. it is my first pregnancy so i dont know what to expect.

yay, thats excellent news, it really annoys me when people say that its normal and not to worry about decreased movements, the movements should still be there, but they just change, so maybe flutters instead of kicks, and your always best to get bub checked out :)

Just came back from the doctor and you are not gonna believe what happened.. as soon as they hooked all the monitor things on me my baby started going wild. Aparently she was way too comfortable and all those snugged things around her made her mad.

I was so happy i almost cried when i felt her going crazy trying to kick those things off. But im really glad ii went in there because they said my blood pressure was high and they were able to take care of that.

Also they said my baby is in the ready possition and thats why im having all that pressure on my pelvic floor.. they gave me great news and said i will be able to give birth naturally NO C-SECTION! Well as long as she stays in that possition.

They recomend going to them if this decrease movement occurs again because they will be able to tell whether its ok or if your baby is in danger.

Thank you all for your support :-D

I think its fine, it gets harder for the baby to move as it gets more cramped and closer to delivery.

Im almost 37wks and ive had similar issues since 33weeks. I only feel my baby move when im lying down and then they still were week movements. I talked to my doc and he said its prolly because my baby is already head down and low. He scheduled me a u/s just to make sure and even though I wasnt feeling him alot he was moving around like crazy. So for me the way my baby is positioned is why I dont feel him a whole lot

I think that you should go get checked just to be on the safe side, most of the times things are ok, but sometimes not... even when baby is bigger and there isnt much room you should still feel lots of movements, the type of movement changes from big kicks etc, but you should still notice the movements.... go get checked, if everything is ok, thats great, if not, hopefully they will be able to do something, good luck
