Fetal movement: The baby is large and getting ready for delivery. It is hard to move around a lot in such a tight space. The baby slows down and the uterus gets ready to go into labor. So all sounds normal. As long as you feel fetal movements, even if they are way less, it is ok.

Likely: This can be normal as long as you are still feeling the baby move. Sometimes as the baby gets big there movements are less pronounced but you certainly should still feel them. If you can not feel the baby kick at least 5-10 times in an hour- get checked out.
