increase or decrease in movement?

I'm 36w 3d  & I normally have an active little girl. Her movement for the past 5 days was outrageous. She was flipping my belly inside lol. But now it has definately slowed dwn this last day or so and I was just wondering if that was a sign or labor? It has not slowed dwn to were I'm worried she's moving enough to were I know she's ok. Buy I was wondering is there a sudden increase or decrease whenever you are getting close to labor rather your contracting or not. I know contractions might slow them dwn but I'm not having really ones just a lot of Braxton hicks..

I used to worry about that with my daughter, but she was good. They do run out of room. Drink some oj and poke at her...or let her sleep and then drink some oj and her.

They start running out of room and slow down on movement... I recently just asked my Dr the same thing he said as long as I feel him move 8 times in one hour once a day were ok... He said it wasn't a sign of labor just the baby running out of room to move alot
