Movement...or lack thereof

Im due on the 24th with my second little girl and this last week she has REALLY slowed down. I mean i still feel her roll and turn but not nearly as much as she has been. Like i might feel her once or twice every 3-4 hours. I mentioned it to my doc and he didn't seem concerned and said towards the end babies usually slow down but i thought they were supposed to move at least 10 times per hour during awake times? So im confused.

your baby should have 10kicks per hour. Lay down and count them, if your not experiencing those 10 kicks i would advise you to go into L&D to get examed.

As you get closer to having baby the have less room to move so they don't move as much. Its not anything to be alarmed of unless you don't feel movement at all.
