Hello! I’m 37 weeks and over the last couple days/week I’ve noticed I feel the baby move less than say a month ago. I still feel him at least a couple times a day but he just doesn’t feel as constantly active as earlier in my third trimester. Is this normal? Anyone else noticing this?

I also had this around 36 weeks, noticed the movement were less punchy and had more no activity periods. I also noticed a change in pattern when I stopped work.
My understanding is that it is normal later on to feel them less/differently as they have less room to move about however I still called triage last week and they asked me to come in for monitoring which was all normal. I'd definitely recommend giving them a call if you are worried

My midwife said the movements shouldn’t reduce at all and should be just as much similar to the original pattern but the movements themselves may be different, feel less strong and that’s as of space so less of a punch/kick out and more of a roll or wipe across you. I would say call the assessment centre if unsure xx
