A member asked:

38wks preg, adequate though slow baby movement but i feel energized almost like i am not pregnant, when will labor finally come please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say.: Many women feel a sudden burst of energy during the last weeks if pregnancy. More important is your subjective assessment of slow baby movement. Decreased fetal movement can be a sign of problems. Please follow up with your OB doctor asap for evaluation of the decreased fetal movement.
