Do Movements Change When Baby Drops?

Your baby's head is engaged in your pelvis
In the last few weeks of pregnancy, you may notice a bit of a decrease in fetal movement. Once your baby "drops", he will be even less mobile. You may feel larger rolls — along with every move of baby's head on the cervix, which may feel like sharp electric twinges down there.

Where do you feel kicks when baby drops?

Some women may feel baby dropping as a sudden, noticeable movement. Others may not notice it happening at all. Some women may notice that their abdomen feels lighter after the baby has dropped. This might be because the baby is positioned lower in the pelvis, leaving more room in her middle.

When should I worry about decreased fetal movement?

If you reach 10 before the second hour is up, you and baby are good to stop the count. But if you consistently monitor a kick count on a daily basis and then notice a day when the movements drop off, call your doctor.
