im 37 weeks and today and yesterday my baby hasnt been moving that much. today, i think i felt her maybe 5 times, and theyre not really that strong... should i be worried, or no? i mean at least she's still moving right? my back is kinda achy, but its nothing bad... she just moved, but as i said, theyre not like they were earlier this week... idk if this has anything to do with anything, but last week i found out i was 60% effaced and a little more than a cm dialated...please, tell me if this happend to you, and should i call the dr?

As long as you still feel some movement, then more than likely the baby is fine. At this point the baby is running out of room, so you don't feel as much movement as before. You are close to labor and the baby is resting up. If it will ease your mind, then call and talk to the doctor.

When your that far along in pregnancy there isn't a lot of room and the baby slows down on movement. eat something sugary or drink some orange juice and lay on your left side. Count the kicks. see how many you can count in 1 hour. if you hit ten before the hour is up then I would stop counting and rest arrusure that everthing is fine. However I think I would call the doctor while I was laying on my side. normally they average an hour or two to call back anyway. I hoped this helped you.

Call your doctor to ease your mind, but as the baby gets bigger it gets more cramped so movement slows down a bit. Also before labor begins, movement slows down too, because the baby has gotten into position. It may be a good sign that she may be arriving soon!
Congrats.

Being so close to your due date the baby doesnt have much room to move anymore.(no room to really give mom a nice hard kick when she least expects it) As long as you are feeling some movement all should be fine.

Call the dr right away. Your baby should be moving more than that. There could be something wrong, but than again evrething could be just fine. I would call just to be safe.

Yes I would contact either the womens center at your local hospital or call your doctor.

in the last few weeks, babies slow down to kinda "conserve energy" for birth. it's normal for them not to be as active, but if it is bothering you, call the doctor.
