is this normal?

I wento teh dr on wedneday and all is fine she was moving so much wednesday night more than ever before. The last two night she has been somewhat quiet a little kick here and there. Also i feel her kick here or there in teh morning when laying in bed. Now i read that when you get to a certain point its hard for them to move around and you wont feel as much my mom said thast wrong and she felt up to teh last days befroe giving birth. of course she is making me panic... Thoughts?

Re: is this normal?

yes i think it is normal. My dr told me that eventually the babies run out of room in there, therefore the movement tends to be a bit more scarce.

Perfectly normal! Movement should not slow down, but just be different and you may not feel it as much. There were some days I would feel gianna more than others but towards the end I felt alot more rolls, and jabs, then kicks. I actually missed the kicks cause they hurt alot less then the rolls and jabs in the 3rd trimester!

When in doubt have something sweet or i used to wake her up by moving my tummy from side to side

If you want to put your mind at ease do a fetal kick count.
Here's a description on how to do it that I found:
Have you gotten your kicks today? Once you've passed week 28, you should be getting them every day. To make sure that you do — and to make sure that everything's A-OK in your belly — make a habit of counting your baby's kicks twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Best to do your counting lying down (since babies are more likely to kick up when Mom's lying down — a pattern they tend to continue after they're born). If you can't lie down, sit. Count any and all movements (even swishes and rolls) until you hit ten. If you haven't reached ten within an hour (your little Rockette may just be on her break right now), have a light snack and try again — that blood-sugar rush is likely to get baby on the move again. Just remember that fewer than ten movements within two hours warrants a call to your practitioner. Chances are everything's fine, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

I used to do the "ten counts" all the time, b/c I would freak out...

My guy was big, but still managed to find room to move until the end
