My baby goes through patterns of more activity and then less. He'll be really active for 3 or so days and then a little more mellow. My M/W said this is actually a good sign. During those more mellow periods he is probably going through a growth spurt. However, each baby has their own pattern. If your baby was normally really active, all the time, every day and you feel like that has significantly changed than that probably is something to be addressed. Not sure if you would necessarily need fetal monitoring. You should talk to your provider about that. But as you said, if she is in a new position that may have something to do with it as well. I know that at some point if you don't feel ANY movement in a 6 hour period that can be cause for concern, but I'm not sure when that is supposed to start. And it sounds like you are still feeling movement, just not as strong. I know my babe is often more active in the evening when I am still, so hopefully as the night progresses you will feel more action. If you keep worrying maybe you could just call your provider, nurse, the head nurse on call at a local hospital, etc.
