decreased fetal movement

So im 37 weeks pregnant today I noticed my little man not moving as much as he normally does. He was up late last night moving like crazy could this be why I've only felt a light move once or twice today? should I be concerned or is he just having a lazy day? Im a first time mom and kind of freaking out please give me ur opinions.

My sister in law had the same problem then she ate a really sweet brownie and in seconds he was moving like crazy . So try eating something really sweet.

He could just be moving into position to get ready for birth and having and not moving as much or the position he is in your just not able to feel his movements.or maybe just sleeping. My now you're probably going to weekly appointments. Just have your doc give you an ultra sound or check his heart beat to ease your mind. I'm sure he is just fine :-)

Call ur doctor.. happened to me and theyvhad me go straight to labor and delivery. Its true that its more crowded in there but the baby should still move. They will put u on the fetal heart monitor to make sure baby is ok. Better safe than sorry
