As long as baby is still moving I wouldn't be too worried...however if the movement has reduced dramatically it may be a good idea to go and get checked out, let them listen in to the heartbeat and just re assure everything is OK. x

pick a time when you think your baby is most active, to sit down and count kicks. i think it's if your baby doesnt kick 10 times in a maximum of 2 hours call your ob. with any dramatic decrease in kicks you should call your ob right away. yes there is less room for your baby to move around, but that doesnt mean the amount of movements stops

Your baby shouldn't stop moving/move less frequently  due to not much room until 34-36 weeks.
Since you still have time to go, id check with your doc if I were you..

And yes. What pp said.
But.. drink two full glasses of ice water then lay on your left side. Count the kicks. If you don't get to 10 kicks in 2 hours, go to the er.

I am actually a college student in a child development class and we just went over this last Thursday. The baby will not move as much at all & my professor said it's very normal! Throughout the stages of the baby growing and developing features and the brain and nervous system, etc. the baby will be worn out & the energy level of the baby will decrease dramatically! I think you're on the right track, good luck! :)
