Hey ladies , I’m reaching the end and I need some advice . Did anyone notice decreased fetal movement at the end of their pregnancy ? If so would you recommend going to the hospital or is it normal ?

Not at all. I would definitely go get checked out. My girl is 39 weeks and I have a c section tomorrow and she’s a wild animal inside me.

I would go to er and get checked out. There could potentially be something going on if baby is moving less than usual.

100% experienced this! I even had weekly testing done due to being high risk. And even during my NST he did not move as much as he did earlier on in my pregnancy. They did assure me that he hit all marks during those tests and he was just born on the 10th happy and healthybut each pregnancy is different. I would always recommend calling your OB or going to the hospital because getting checked out is way safer than hoping for the best.

Definitely go to L&D! Never risk it!!

When I had decreased fetal movement I went straight to the hospital to make sure everything was okay, they sent me to labor and delivery and they did an NST and said everything was good. Always better to be safe then sorry

my dr has me chug a glass of cold water or eat/drink something sugary, then lay down with no distractions and they to feel them. 10 movements within two hours. any little flutter counts, if they move their foot from one side and right back, that’s two movements. also if you’re starting to stress, that’s could cause you body to be too tense to feel.
personally, some days my baby moves less than other days! so i always start with the task above before calling. but if youre nervous i would either try above, call dr, or go to er to get checked.

My little guy slowed down for a few days, making smaller movements but still passed his kick counts, I brought it up to my ob and she said as they run out of room they're movements might not be as strong and aggressive. If your baby isnt doing 10 moves in 2 hours, go to the hospital immediately.

Please don’t stress, get checked if you need to but my daughter slowed down for sure they run out of room to wiggle! Plus my placenta made it hard to notice the constant movements that weren’t so crazy! Also I slept harder towards the end so didn’t notice the crazy movement at night as much!

My doctor said when delivery is close, the movement changes. More subtle movements like twisting/turning, less rough kicking. You should always be able to regularly feel the baby though! If you're ever even a bit concerned, I would just give your doctor's office a call and see what they think. Never hurts to ask!
Thank you ladies , I ended up going to the hospital and ended up having hypertension and I was induced .
I ended up having a healthy baby boy💙🥰
