Hey MummyNelly

at around 38weeks it is normal for your baby to quieten down...simply as they have less room to do their usual acrobatic routine, and at this stage for a first baby, are generally head down in the pelvis

sorry its not really an indication of impending labor , but if at any stage you think maybe baby has been a bit too quiet, have a ice cold sweet drink to get them moving...if still worried pop to your drs or the hospital just to check baby's heart rate...its always best to feel happy (remember as a guide you should feel one movement per hour)
