Baby movements have gotten less dramatic and aggressive is she getting ready to be born?

38 weeks. Baby is still moving plenty so I'm not worried about frequency but they've become a lot softer. Less jumpy and punchy and more just small shifts and wiggles. Does this mean she could be born soon or is she just out of room? 😆

Babies do move less as u get ever so far along in ur pregnancy do to having less room I'm just over 37 weeks and the past few weeks I've felt movements less and they're less strong like you I'm not worried but I think it has a lot to do with being a lot bigger so they have way less room to move about

So I was told by my midwife it doesn't matter how far along you are if the movements change at all then you need to get checked out. They may have less room to move but that's not going to stop them trying. Just before I had my son his movements were so strong it was like he was trying to kick his way out my stomach

You should get it checked. My baby’s movements decreased and changed and it was normal. She was just sleeping and my stomach space was small cuz I’m short and she was almost 8 lbs. But you never know.

I do find I don’t get as many kicks as I used to more like stretch’s and rolls and movements defo lot less space in there!! X

Definitely get checked, I’m sure it’s completely fine. But any change in your movement patterns, you should always get checked out. The whole moves less towards the end thing isn’t true. I went and got checked a good few times in my last pregnancy because my movements were reduced or different, every time it was fine but the midwives always said it’s the right thing to always come get checked xx
