Less movement from baby in third trimester

[happymom2be]

Anyone having less movement from their babies? I'm 34w4d and my baby girl sure is strong but doesn't move as much throughout the day. She's a soccer player at night still! I know I've read the space gets smaller the bigger they get so that could be the reason. Plus I know she's good because I have to do twice a week monitoring on her due to gestational diabetes :/. I still get worried something's up when she doesn't move.

Don't worry. ..same here...at times I tap on the belly and the young one will respond by a kick...

My daughter was the same way.  She was sleeping during the day.  Your movements rock them to sleep.  Also that late in pregnancy they don't have as much room to move.  Add long as baby is still active at rest its normal.

My lil man is the same, I cant help worry aswell. I poke my belly or place something cold on it just to make sure his ok. Iv noticed his movements have slowed down and some days hardly feel anything. Apparently they spend most of their time sleeping now aswell especially as they have little space.
