She's plum run out of room! If you can get 10 movements in an hour then all is well. She's just squished and gearing up for birth.

Yes this is very normal and I have to say that very, very soon you are going to be having her! Normally towards the tail end of a pregnancy a baby will not move as much simply because there is just no more room. Once there is no more room labor starts because the baby needs to come out because of this. Good luck!

It could be very well normal, your baby might be getting ready into this world so doesn't have too much room to move around, or you might be so anxious and excited about going into labor that you haven’t really noticed your baby moving as much. If you feel like there is a problem I would definitely go to the ER or call your Dr. ASAP, they will put you on a monitor to monitor your baby's progress and see if the baby is in any distress, and if so then they can make a safe delivery for the both of you. Wish you the best of luck!

yes and no...sometimes babies move less as labor gets closer because the pressure is increasing and it makes it uncomfortable...any time you notice a significant change in baby's movements you should call your doctor or go be seen just to be on the safe side.
