A member asked:

Is it normal to feel less baby movement at week 38?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Baby: As long as the baby is moving and you are not having other symptoms this should be ok, but if there is any serious question in your mind, see your obstetrician and be examined. Always better safe than sorry. Good luck and have a great healthy baby.
