Light Music Active

Lapse in fetal movement??
Today I got a little nervous because I hadn't felt my baby move all day. She is usually very active during the day. I'm at 38 weeks, so her movements aren't very pronounced anymore, but I'm used to feeling something! (i.e. squirming around.) She started moving around about an hour ago, and I'm going to mention the lack of movement to my doctor tomorrow when I go to my appointment.
What tricks have you all used to get your baby to start moving? I tried eating, drinking some sugary juice, a hot shower, a bright light on my belly...everything I could think of. I was about to try music through headphones on my belly when she started to move.
Also, is it true that they don't move as much in the days leading up to delivery? A friend told me she heard this from her doctor.
Any ideas? Thanks!! 
Yes, it's true they don't move as much closer to delivery because it gets really tight in there. lol
I went through the same thing you did with my last baby. One night I realized my baby had not moved all day. I freaked out and woke my husband up and we lay there for a while waiting for movements and nothing happened. I had some juice and walked around the house and then laid down. She finally started moving again and I felt better.
We just figured that she must have moved during the day but I missed it somehow - you know, really distracted with something else or maybe dozing off or in the middle of a strenuous activity - something like that.
You should be fine. Just chalk this up to a "slow day" for your baby. They have their days just like we do.
So here are some tips - try walking around and then staying very still. Or drink some juice, lie down and pat or tap your tummy a little.
