Baby barley moving! :/

I'm 37 weeks and 3days. I went to the doctor today at 430 and they asked if he was moving okay. I told her he only moved about four times today, she said he is supposed to move at least ten times a day and that if he didn't move more before the day is over I have to go straight to the hospital! His heart beat was nice bd strong, and she did say I was measuring big (like they have been telling me the whole time) so I'm not sure what's wrong :( has anyone else had this problem?!?

Yeah. That's what I figured he just doesn't have enough room. But yes he has moved after the appointment, a few times actually so I think it'll be okay. I'm going to make sure I count his movements tomorrow!

Not much room for them to move at that point... When I was pregnant my son never was that active inside me. He's still a quiet baby now that he's here which I'm thankful for.. There was nothing wrong with him at any point and still isnt. But if you are that concerned I'd take your doctors advice and go get checked out.

Did he move any more after your appointment? Because when my doctor tells me something I take that as bond. Whatever your doctor tells you to do then just do it for the sake of baby

Your baby doesn't have room to move as much... you won't feel as much kicks n stuff its more shifting from side to side now.. baby is most likely okay
