If you are due to have your baby then at around that time, the movement rate drops due to the lack of room to move about and the fact that the baby may already be engaged for delivery. You will feel small movements generally of hands and feet, but at the late stage you are at it is very hard to have a count ratio

the movement of the unborn baby indicates healthiness. based on research, a healthy baby usually move 10 times in 2 hrs.
there are many methods to count fetal movement. Around 28 weeks or 7th month of your pregnancy, your care provider will discuss counting fetal movements. Most methods involve counting any fetal flutter or movement for a period of several hours. For example, start counting when you get up in the morning. You should feel at least 10 fetal movements by noon (or in about four hours). If you do not reach this number, drink some juice and count for another hour -- then you should reach 10.
Another method is to lie down for an hour after dinner, or a time when your baby is most active. You should feel 10 fetal movements in two hours. If you don't, call your care provider.
Remember that healthy baby is an active baby and although they are not supposed to "slow down" as term approaches, the character of the movements change.
If your care provider feels that your baby is not active enough, or wants to reassure you, they can perform a non-stress test (monitoring the heart rate in response to fetal movement) . i hope
this info will help you. or either way, try to visit this site:

Just make a mental note of how many times baby moves in a day, then next day do the same. Usually they'll have around the same number of movements each day. I don't think there's a good number of movements because every baby's different. It's only if there are fewer movements than a normal day you should contact your midwife. Also bear in mind hat just before the birth there probably won't be much movement at all, it's more like a slight squirming because baby just doesn't have the space to do backflips anymore Xx
