I am 30 weeks and I feel a lot of kicks. It feels like a wrestling match in my belly. If you haven't felt many kicks in the last couple of hours maybe the baby is resting. I was told by a doctor once if I was very concerned about the lack of movements to make a loud noise right near my belly so as to wake the baby up. If still nothing then I would go the doctor just to be on the safe side. (Towards the end they do tend to slow down as there is not as much room and they are getting ready for the big day)

oh, goodness, some babies try to kick their way out, and some barely move at all. A lot of times they move at night when you are asleep and don't move much during the day, so it feels like they never move (my daughter was one of these). Just follow your dr's instructions for kick counts, and you should be fine. My dr said to sit down at a time of day when the baby was normally active, and if she didn't move 10 times in an hour to do it again. If she still didn't move 10 times, then to go to the hospital. But when I went to Kansas, they had a 3 time per hour rule.
I would only worry if I hadn't felt anything all day, and drinking something sugary (OJ, non-diet sodas) didn't help.

at 33 weeks its 10 kicks in one hour. You need to do this daily. The more the baby kicks the better...that means the baby is strong mine does around 150 or so in an hour, depending on what i ate or what time it is. If your baby doesn't move at least 10 times a day you need to consult your ob/gyn!! good luck

I am 32 weeks and my baby kicks a good bit in the morning and in the evening. Usually if you lay down, you will feel the baby kick quite a bit. But my doctor says that about this time, the baby starts getting crowded so you may not feel as many kicks.

Each baby is different--but by 33 weeks the baby does not have as much room now,so you may notice a bit less kicking.
Best wishes:)

My son used to kick a lot. He is 7 months old now and when I was pregnant I could feel him moving around a lot. Especially when I would lie down on my side. Sometimes it would look alien. lol.As far as a number of times a day I'm not sure. But I know it was a lot.

you should be doing a fetal kick count and should be at least 10 a day

You shouldn't worry about the Baby moving, you should worry if the baby stops moving. I think if your baby is moving around alot it is the best sign, but if you are concerned please consult with your Dr. maybe he/she will do a sonogram to ease your worries.
