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?

She weighed 8lb 0.5oz, so my smallest baby but still a good weight.
We've just come back out of hospital due to her loosing a lot of weight (10%) and being so sleepy she wasn't waking for feeds. Wonder if she was sleepy inside of me hence no movements?
I'm besotted with her and definitely bonding so much better this time around but I'm completely knackered as you can imagine! Thank you for all of your advice and support, these past couple of weeks have been hellish! X

Oh I'm so glad you've posted @GKite as I've been checking in every day to see how you're doing!

Your little one is absolutely beautiful- I just love the little bit of hair on newborns! Grin

I'm so relieved that she got here safely after all the worry and I guess she's just a laid back little darling!

Congratulations Thanks
