same for me. but at 38+ weeks baby can be more responsive (at least mine was) so u can try to tap or poke a bit and see if he/she responds to give reassurance. anyways when I was in triage a lot of women came due to no movement so I don’t think it should be taken lightly as well. do go to hosp if you feel weird. mummys instinct is always worth listening to. if baby is unwell at least you get to detect early

Thanks for the tip. Baby does respond and loves too. It is just that the movements have gone soft a bit. But when I sit right up I feel the baby moving strongly. So should be all good.
