The last few days since my NST I had done on Tuesday the baby hasn't really been moving alot. He still rolls a little and I still feel little thumps throughout the day (believe me, if I didn't, I would have gone crazy by now), but also, he actually feels lower and it does seem like I can breathe a little better.
When I had my ultrasound on Tuesday too they said I was measuring 38 weeks and he is 4 pounds right now, so I'm just wondering. There is no way I could have got pregnant before I did, so I am a little confused on what is going on here. I hear that babies tend to move less once they drop so I was thinking that could explain the movement change. Either that, or he has just had a few lazy days. I go back in on Tuesday again, but I was wondering what you ladies thought?
Another question I was wondering about is what is everyone's movement patterns like now? I still go a couple of hours sometimes without feeling him. Is that normal? Does anyone else have this?

trust me, when baby drops, you'll know it. there will be a head as deep in your pelvis as you can imagine, and deeper. it will feel like a ball between your thighs.
i think babies move less as they run out of room. instead of doing acrobatics and dance routines they just wiggle little bits at a time.

Thanks, I needed someone to tell me that.
