Baby movements

I was wondering if your baby movements have changed in the past month. I heard that since they are getting so big, they start running out of room. I  still can't help worrying though because I feel like his movements are a lot slower than before. Almost like he is moving in slow motion. Are you all experiencing the same thing or is there anyone still with an active baby?

I'm with Browneyedmama - my baby moves around so much that it's really uncomfortable and actually hurts sometimes. I'm glad he's moving around though, so I'm not complaining. However his movements are much slower & longer these days - I'll watch him stick his knee/leg out and roll it all the way from one side of my belly to the other. I can also feel his head rolling around against my pelvis. My little guy has always been REALLY active though, so it also depends on how active your baby has been throughout pregnancy. It is, however, common for movements to decrease/slow down in late pregnancy so try not to worry too much. Do your kick counts - down a whole glass of ice water and lay on your left side. You should feel at least 10 movements in 2 hours. And if you have worries, call your doc. We're almost there!
