A little concerned

I'm 36+1 weeks and two days ago I was having really bad stomach cramping and bad back pain, it happened once and then it happened ago about an hour or two later, the second time it happened I took a warm bath to relieve some of the pain it helped but I notice that my little one wasn't moving very much so I tried drinking juice and that didn't really help and ever since then he hasn't been moving as much :/ anybody have any ideas on what the pain was cause idk if it was like labor or something else and is the decreased movement at this time in my pregnancy normal???

That's good that the baby moved more . Sometimes they get that way. Don't freak out too much. Just monitor it when things like that happen

It's not like a huge change I'm just used to like noticing him move a lot I guess. And last night he was moving more so I guess I'm just really paranoid cause I'm a first time mom and I'm very young myself

Depending on how much movement has stopped I wouldn't wait until Thursday. But most likely the baby is fine . My sons movement slows down sometimes and I freak out. I hear they should move when you eat or drink etc and sometimes he doesn't . He just moves when he feels like it lol . But everything is fine . So as long as it's not a huge change I wouldn't worry so much but would let your doctor know

I would call the midwife or go to the doctors as they always advise if movement reduces or stops to get it checked out. I'm sure everything will be fine.
