Hi, I'm 38 weeks pregnant and just wondering if the baby's movements will slow down closer to labour. My baby is still moving around Heaps and Heaps!!

None of mine did. They were all kickers. They didn't move quite as much during the actual labor, though.

It all depends on how big the baby is and how close you are. Normally they don't stop moving they just don't move as much as they use to because there isn't a lot of room in your uterus. Then again some babys do cartwheels out of the birth canal. HAHA! Every baby is different but you may just have a little baby.

In some cases the baby does slow down because there is no room for him to cut flips and perform acrobatics like he used to. Different pregnancies vary. You should be going to the ob-gyn every week now, so as long as the doc says you're ok, you are. Good luck!!

When I went into labor with my first child I had the feeling of the baby almost like crawling down ( I guess it's were the baby is getting into postion)it's a strange feeling.. The other pregnancy were similar but much more noticable in the 1st.

yep yep yep
all the books i've read say that movement slows down a lot before labor, but if you don't feel any movements at all during a 24 hour period, then call your doctor.
Drink some juice (in the evening) lie down and count the baby's movements.

Hi, my grandmother always said when the baby slows down, he or she is resting to be born. And, she was always correct. Good Luck and enjoy and cherish your bundle of joy, what a blessing!

As the baby grows bigger in your womb he/she will not move as often because there is not enough space to move around anymore

MOVEMENT IS EXCELLENT ALL THE TIME...
EVEN IF YOUR CLOSE TO GOING INTO LABOR...
IF AT ANY POINT YOU DON:T FEEL MOVEMENT (at this point babys should move a certain amount of times)
GO TO THE ER ASAP.

They will continue moving, but they won't have as much space as they did before when they were smaller. Congrats, congrats, congrats! Very best wishes for you and your baby.
