Yes im 37 weeks and my little guy has done that through out the entire pregnancy. It used to really worry me because he would be super active for a few days or a week and then one day barely move at all- and of course I would poke  and prod at him or drink something cold to make sure he was ok in there. My doctor says it is normal and sometimes they just have lazy days like us lol. She said if I was really worried to do kick counts, and that helped ease my mind. After you eat or whenever you are relaxed just lay down on your left side with your feet kind of propped up a bit and rest your hand on your belly. As long as you are getting 10-12 movements in an hour period he is fine. I hope that helps and good luck!

How far long are you? Majority of my days my son is very active until I hit 34 weeks & he dropped. When he dropped, he didn't move much. I'm now 36 weeks & he has his active moments, but also has more quiet time as babies sleep a whole lot more at this stage. If you're concerned about his movement, drink some orange juice or something sugary and then do a fetal kick count. Normal movement later in pregnancy would be 10 movements in 2 hours. If babe still doesn't react, call your doctor and ask for a stress test.
