Reduced baby movements at almost 38 weeks, could it be just that she has no room left??

I will be 38 weeks pg tomorrow, she has been moving all day but not as much as usual. I have had waaaaay more than the 10 movements that you are supposed to count.

I haven't felt her move in a couple of hours. I have had a bath as that usually gets her moving/kicking/punching. I have had a cold drink and laid down on my left hand side, I have eaten ice cream but nothing is getting her going.

Should I be at all worried and could it just be that there is no room left for her to move??

Also have a long walk.

I had curry too on Saturday night.

Labour started Sunday night after another long walk and rhubarb and custard.

Sorry it's been long to update.

I am still pg, due in a week, baby is moving more than she was though, so that is a good sign.

Seeing MW on Monday when I will be 4 days off my due date so gonna ask for a sweep then to see if we can get things started.

I do keep having mild contractions sporadically and on Monday night I was woken up with one in the early hours but nothing came of them hmm sad

Hopefully she will be here soon.

Thanks for asking by the way smile
