Reduced movements - long sorry

Hi all, new here.
I'm 33w & 6d pregnant with my third. Since Thursday I've had reduced movement, to the point I can count on one hand how many movements I've felt.
I got checked over on Friday, booked in for an emergency growth scan which showed everything was fine (cord/placenta working beautifully the lady said, lots of fluid around baby, baby swallowing and doing lots of deep breaths in) and was checked over (by this I mean put on those monitors) again yesterday (Mon) which showed baby heart rate fine but a very sleepy baby - was on monitor from 12.15 to 2.30 and had 7 movements. In that time I started contracting so was given steriod injection as precaution but I'm so worried about not feeling anything, even now the last movement I remember feeling was about 5ish. I've tried laying on my side, going for a walk, having cold drinks and ice poles, eating something sweet, eating anything, rubbing my belly, talking to belly, poking belly. Do I just now suddenly have a sleepy baby? Is this at all normal? I'm back to hospital tomorrow for another monitoring & steriod injection but I've never experienced this before, has anybody?
V stressed

7lb4 is a good weight though surely? Certainly not small.

skunkatanka · 03/08/2018 21:54

7lb 4oz is fine OP and shows that actually it seems the consultant etc was right to wait?

CoperCabana · 03/08/2018 21:58

What was the growth between scans as that is the key? Sounds a healthy weight. One of mine was over 2lb smaller and induced because of lack of growth. One was 1.5 lbs smaller at full term. But does depend on growth rate. Keeping everything crossed for you but as frustrating as it is, does sound like a positive update.

They said baby is just at the 50th centile, my other children were at the 85th centile at this point.
I'm probably just worrying for nothing I suppose, but I was disappointed in the scan, I was only scanned for 4 minutes and yet she still wrote on my notes "baby moved plenty" my partner was finally with me and said he didn't notice 1 movement so I give up. I'm emotionally exhausted from this all
