It's like a sick neonate would be floppy and quiet. It has no energy to kick and cry.  The equivalent for a baby inside is kicks and movements.
Most still birth babies have some reduced movements before they die rather than it being a sudden cause. The docs want us to present to them early so they can help our babies:-)

Decreased movement can be a sign of fetal distress.
