Detailed explanation-1: -From around 32 weeks, your baby’s activity will stay roughly the same until you give birth (RCOG 2019, Tommy’s 2018). The number of movements you feel each day will plateau around this time, but they should not drop off.
Detailed explanation-2: -By week 22 of pregnancy, it’s possible for fetuses to perceive light and dark, so you might feel your baby-to-be react if you shine a flashlight on your stomach. Your little one could well be turning toward or moving away from the spotlight!
Detailed explanation-3: -From 18-24 weeks on you should feel the baby move more and more. After 32 weeks, the movements will stay roughly the same until you give birth. It is NOT TRUE that babies move less towards the end of pregnancy. You should CONTINUE to feel your baby move right up to the time you go into labour and during labour.
