Less movement

I'm 38 weeks 2 days and don't have a Drs appointment until tomorrow but I am hardly feeling him move and i am constantly worrying about still birth. I try to make sure to count to see if he is moving atleast 10 times a day and it seems like he isn't.

I went in for my peace of mind and got a non stress test done he is ok but he isn't moving that much only because I am in active labour and he can be here any day so I was told not to worry

I heard baby doesn't move as much when you're about to go into labor. Maybe baby is ready to come out or baby doesn't Gabe room to move

Try a bug glass of cold water as well. They want 10 tines in 4 hours. If you dont feel that than go ahead an go in. They will do a non stress test. You basically lay there and they monitor heartbeats and movement. Sounds honestly that is your best bet for piece if mind.

U should consult to ur guinea.
Though sometimes we can't feel movement because of lack of water in water bag while baby is moving.

Don't worry it's normal for the baby not to move as much towards the end, they haven't got a lot of room and they are getting ready to come out. As long as there is movement I wouldn't worry

Don't worry as it will only make it worse. Did you try drinking fruit huice and laying on a side? Usually baby start moving once you drink something sweet. You and the baby are going to be alright.
