Baby's movement at 39wks.

He's not moving so much. I know he doesn't have much room anymore but I can't help but worry. Anyone else experience this?

Yep. ... totally normal bc lack of room, but I know mean it can be worrisome. They do day when movement comes to a halt that's one of the first signs of labor. ... good luck!

38+6 weeks and my baby hasn't been as active either. Had a doctors appt today and his heartbeat was great. I've been told less movement is a sign labor will come soon, let's keep our fingers crossed that it's true! :)

My first barely moved at all from 39-41w, used to send me into panic mode! Normal though- just no room left :)

I'm not quite that far along, but my doctor told me not too worry if I begin feeling less movement after 36wks.
