Is it normal for the baby to slowdown in kicking towards the end?

I was complaining just a few days ago how the baby was moving around too much and keeping me up at night. I feel like he has been much less active today. I wish I didn't say anything. I want so much for him to be jumping around all day again.

Should I be worried?

I think I remember someone posting that the baby moves less towards the end. I hope this is true.

If I remember correctly with DS, he also slowed down a bit.
I "think" its because the baby runs of out room.

I've heard its normal!! For me this baby hasn't stopped! I'm almost 38 weeks and this kid is just as active!!

Totally normal, they just run out of room.

is definitely kicking/punching less, she was like a little soccer playing during my 2nd trimester! However, the movement shouldn't be less, she wiggles all day long, and since she's running out of room in there, the movements kind of hurts me a little. The stretching feels like she's about to come out of my skin
