Where are you? :((

My little man has pretty much stopped moving and kicking as much as he use to :( I miss feeling him all day :/ now he will only move maybe three times a day.  I'm going to miss those little feet in my sides, ribs, belly, bladder lol. Anyone else not feeling much movement lately? I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow.

That doesn't sound good, your movements shouldnt reduce. They will change but shouldn't reduce! I would be going to have a checkup if I was you. Just to make sure everything is okay.

He's probably feeling lazy. If you lay on your right side a d he moves then nothing to worry about. (:

This happen to me for a few days just a few days ago I went and got him checked and everything was fine I guess he was just feeling lazy for 3 days straight because he is back moving like crazy again. In saying that though if you feel movements decrease always tell your doc/midwife you should get baby checked it could be something serious or just like mine baby could just be having a rest :)

He could be going through his last growth spurt before before birth. I've heard they get lazy during their growth spurts. Hope all is well (:

I have heard that too^^ and as of last week I have already started to dialate and my cervix is soft and he is head down so I'm thinking hes just getting ready. I will definitely mention it to my doctor at my appointment on friday though! Better safe then sorry

This happened to me on Monday, my daughter kicked a couple times and the next day she was back to kicking all crazy again. I'm pretty sure you would know if something is wrong, you just won't feel right but still mention it to your doctor on Friday.

Try drinking or eating something with lots of sugar. Thats what my doctor told me if my baby had less movement then normal

Hopefully your baby did run out of room. My daughter is still small so she's still so active. But don't stress it. Talk to you doctor first and see what he/she says. Maybe your baby is just getting lazy and sleeping more.

I had a small piece of candy to see if it would help and he kicked once. I cant eat or drink too much sugar because I have gestational diabetes :/ I'm calling now actually just so they know. Thanks ladies!!!

I'm 37 weeks and my baby has slowed down a little. I was checked yesterday and they said he's perfectly fine. I also have GD. Let's hope they're getting ready to come out :)

I'm pretty sure everything will be fine my little one was just like that for about a week she hardly moved & I would get so scared something was wrong but every time I went to the doctor they said everything was fine It was like this until the day I went into labor man she was moving and kicking up a storm every time I was having a contraction. Your baby might be resting in perpetuation for the big day! ;)

My lo would have a lazy couple of days and then be back to normal, I wouldn't worry too much as long as you're still feeling some movements. If you're panicking though I would definitely phone your doc or perhaps go get checked out.

He may have dropped so that can restrict a lot of movement if his head is engaged. Wishing you well.
