So everywhere I read it says that bub's movement slows down toward the end and is almost non existant just before labour begins and I was wondering how little is to little?

My little one hasnt moved for hours now, not even with me being mean and putting ice packs on my belly, drinking cold water etc. She was quiet active last night though. The 10 movements in an hour thing, is that suppose to be able to be done at any time?

I've had tightenings on and off all day, more this afternoon/tonight so I'm thinking that why she isnt moving much- does that sound normal?

I'm trying to avoid ringing the birthing suites, last time I dealt with them I left in tears, and ofcourse my doppler is out of batteries. I've never been this far in pregnancy so really dont know what to expect.

TIA.
