Decreased movmement = labor coming???
I know that usually towards the end of your pregnancy the baby's movement will slow down b/c of lack of space (although mine is still pretty active at almost 38 weeks). My mom keeps telling me that the baby "isn't ready if he keeps moving. He has to stop moving and then he will be ready to come." Is this true? Or, an old wives tale?

Re: Decreased movmement = labor coming???
I think this is right. I have been having slow movements but not hard kicks. More like turns. But i do count every hour. It should be 6-10 times per hour. It doesnt have to be a kick but a movmt of any kind. I had the same issue with DS and i was nervous when i was preggo with him and called the doc. But it is totally normal.
