Baby not moving a lot at 39 weeks is this normal?

It is important to note that every pregnancy and baby is different. If you have any concerns about your baby's movements or activity level, you should always contact your doctor or midwife for advice and guidance.

In general, it is normal for a baby to move less as the pregnancy progresses, as they have less space to move around in the uterus. However, you should still be able to feel your baby moving regularly throughout the day and night, even if the movements are not as frequent or strong as they were earlier in your pregnancy.

If you notice a significant decrease in your baby's movements, or if you have not felt any movement at all for a period of time, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. This could be a sign that your baby is not getting enough oxygen or that there is another problem with the pregnancy.

Here are some things you can do to monitor your baby's movements:

* Keep track of the number of times you feel your baby move in a 12-hour period. This can be done by using a kick counting chart or app.

* Pay attention to the intensity and duration of your baby's movements.

* Notice any changes in the pattern of your baby's movements.

* If you have any concerns about your baby's movements, talk to your doctor or midwife right away.
